Dear list, For quite a while, I haven’t been able to use the edit() or fix() functions on a data frame without R crashing instantaneously. I am running OS X El Capitan, I have the newest versions of Xcode (7.2) and XQuartz (2.7.8). I just installed “Wooden Christmas-Tree", hoping that this problem — which has been bothering me for about a year perhaps, but seemed avoidable enough -- will go away with the new version, but it persists.
Unfortunately, I cannot paste an exact error message because the new R version does not produce one, it just freezes indefinitely. The freezing happens AFTER the data editor window popped up correctly. When I try to close it, everything comes to a standstill. With “Smooth Sidewalk”, I would usually get something along the lines of “memory not mapped” and then the usual options 1: abort (with core dump, if enabled), 2: normal R exit etc. This problem does not occur when using edit/fix on simple vectors or strings, it’s just when the data editor gets evoked for a data frame/matrix edit that everything goes down the tubes. Could somebody please help point me in the right direction? Sorry if I am overlooking something obvious. I googled around, searched on mailing lists many times and tried different solutions that were offered for similar problems, but I can’t seem to get it done correctly. platform x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0 arch x86_64 os darwin13.4.0 system x86_64, darwin13.4.0 status major 3 minor 2.3 year 2015 month 12 day 10 svn rev 69752 language R version.string R version 3.2.3 (2015-12-10) nickname Wooden Christmas-Tree Thanks so much.
