It is an issue with Sonoma macOS new TUI classes and not the architecture so it 
will affect both.

Definitely - I always tell them not to upgrade right away as major macOS 
versions are notoriously buggy. Ideally, you shouldn't upgrade until next R 
patch release since if macOS breaks something we can't fix (officially) it 
until the next release.

And it has been going on my M2 MBP R4.3.1 R.app GUI 1.79 (8238)

Does the team need any debug outputs or similar to understand the

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] R 4.3.1 fails on Mac OS X Sonoma

2023-10-03 Thread John Helly via R-SIG-Mac

Aloha.

I've confirmed it on the M-chip but afraid to test on my Intel.  I have 
had a problem for years now, that seems related and limited to R.app.  
RStudio does not have the problem: which is why I stopped using R.app.


On multiple machines, all architectures, R.app spontaneously switches 
from editor windows to console and the switching of focus causes code to 
get damaged or destroyed unwittingly.


RStudio has its own problems but this problem has never been solved (for 
me) and I haven't been able to confirm it with others so no known 
cause.  It may be related to this current problem since it seems to be 
in the same general domain.

It turns out that is not just the graphics window that the focus problem, it is 
all windows.  That is, opening the help window takes focus away from the 
console and help needs to be closed before the console window will be active.  
The install package window has the same problem.

For each case, closing the extra window restores console functioning.

Rodney,

Thanks for your quick reply.

It turns out this is just a problem with the base R  for Mac graphics window 
(which is to say, the version I like).  I can still use R-studio (which I don’t 
like as much).

I can wait patiently for a patch to the Mac version while using R-Studio.

That way I don’t have to go through the hassle of trying to reinstall 13.x and 
dumping 14.0.

Dear Mac users of R and developers.


I recently updated to the Sonoma OS for Mac  (14.0)  and it has a serious 
problem for graphics.

plot(1:10) creates a graphic window but I can not switch back to the console 
window using either command-1 or the mouse.

Anybody else having this problem?  Any suggestions for a patch?

I am running a MacBook Pro with M1 Max.

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] R 4.3.1 fails on Mac OS X Sonoma

2023-10-03 Thread William R Revelle
It turns out that is not just the graphics window that the focus problem, it is 
all windows.  That is, opening the help window takes focus away from the 
console and help needs to be closed before the console window will be active.  
The install package window has the same problem.

For each case, closing the extra window restores console functioning.  

I report this just so Simon can see the report.

I remain in awe of the work of Simon in getting the Mac version to work so well.

I am running 

R version 4.3.1 Patched (2023-09-30 r85239)
Platform: aarch64-apple-darwin20 (64-bit)
Running under: macOS Sonoma 14.0

I did not need to do so when updating to Sonoma.  And of course the 
E.app console (not 'base R') which seems to be the issue does not use X11.


I also did not need to reinstall CLT on this occasion.

The main issue I have found with Sonoma is that it has changed to a 
different (apparently FreeBSD-derived) implementation of iconv with 
(deliberate but undocumented in the release notes) changes in behaviour 
yet still reporting itself as 'libiconv 1.11' using a call specific to 
GNU libiconv).  We have started added workarounds to R-devel and R-patched.

Dear Mac users of R and developers.


I recently updated to the Sonoma OS for Mac  (14.0)  and it has a serious 
problem for graphics.

plot(1:10) creates a graphic window but I can not switch back to the console 
window using either command-1 or the mouse.

Anybody else having this problem?  Any suggestions for a patch?

I am running a MacBook Pro with M1 Max.

2023-10-01 Thread William Revelle
Rodney,

Thanks for your quick reply.

It turns out this is just a problem with the base R  for Mac graphics window 
(which is to say, the version I like).  I can still use R-studio (which I don’t 
like as much).  

I can wait patiently for a patch to the Mac version while using R-Studio.

That way I don’t have to go through the hassle of trying to reinstall 13.x and 
dumping 14.0.

Bill
