Hmm, interesting. My default is to always post in plain text. Methinks the web interface to our university's gmail might be up to no good; wouldn't be the first time. Will have to look into that. Hope this is better.
At any rate: Windows 10. I use both Rgui and emacs ESS. in both of those scenarios I'd like the box to open up wide enough be default to display the entire title; I could put in a couple line breaks if needed. Currently, in Rgui or Emacs/ESS, with graphics = TRUE or with my original code, I cannot resize the ensuing dialog box. Thanks. --Chris Ryan On Fri, Dec 9, 2022 at 2:36 PM Bert Gunter <bgunter.4...@gmail.com> wrote: > > You should use the graphics = TRUE option to make this reproducible.
