Now I'm working in 2.5.1 on a home machine also running XP. It has the same problem, and I think I finally figured it out.
I've noticed that if the cursor is directly over the text, it becomes an I-beam. When hovering over the blank space around the text, the cursor becomes an arrow. Selections via the arrow almost always paste properly into a script window. Copies made while selecting with the I-beam cursor almost always fail. Regardless of how the selection is done, a paste into Notepad never fails. Copying from Notepad to a script window never fails, regardless of how the paste into Notepad was selected. Very strange! Bob P.S. almost the testing has been with the ?data.frame and ?summary examples. > -----Original Message----- > From: Duncan Murdoch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2007 7:59 PM > To: Muenchen, Robert A (Bob) > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [R] Cutting & pasting help examples into script window > > On 20/09/2007 1:49 PM, Muenchen, Robert A (Bob) wrote: > > Does this look like a bug?
