I have the same problem over many updates of R for my Mac. After I load one R-script into the editor and run it, trying to open another script or trying to change my working directory results in R-gui freeze up. In rebooting R I end up with the old R-script coming up in the editor and I must close it and close R once again before I can reboot R yet once again and start working bing aware that I must not try to open anothe R-scrip in the editor after a script has run or R-gui will lock up again.
With respect to the suggestion to 'tr(Y) recent nightly builds from http://r.research.att.com/', it is the developer’s page and the link to the R-gui nightly build loops back to the same page with no clear option of how to load a new build of the R-gui. There seems to be a hell-hole of problems with the recent updates of R. But my ver R 3.2.3 GUI 1.66 Mavericks build (7060) query says that I am up to date with nothing to upgrade. I would choose not to upgrade entire R if it is having problems with its ‘nightly build’. ??? what to do with this problem which was ignored the last time I posted it, similar to Dr. Swan’s experience.
