One reason we have not closed the bug is that the fix is only for readline >= 6.3, ... and also that I don't think we got much of user confirmation of the form " yes, the bug goes away once I compile R-devel or R-patched " > Thanks, Ralf You are welcome, Martin > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and > more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
