Hi!

I have not managed to reproduce the problem, so far. Thus a number
of questions:

[quote]once I start Rkward the windows do not update their contents.[/quote]
[quote]The problem is normally solved by quiting ans starting again. The second
time it usually works fine.[/quote]

So, if I understand you correctly, you either get an RKWard session where window
handling is broken right from the start, or an RKWard session where window handling
is working. It is not a problem that appears after working in a session for
a while. Correct?

Can you give a rough estimate of what percentage of RKWard sessions is affected
for you?

I guess that you have set up RKWard to load an .RData file directly on startup.
Perhaps the problem is related to this, somehow. If you configure RKWard not
to load the .RData file on startup, but rather open it manually after startup,
do you still see the problem?

[quote]That is, I can clik on one tab (i.e., for a script), the tab becomes
active, but the contents of the window is still the contents of the previously
selected tab. Also, I cannot write. [/quote]

Is the thin red border (which indicates the active window) shown around the
window?

What if you use the new Ctrl+[Shift+]Tab feature to switch windows (in a "broken"
session) does that seem to activate the windows correctly?

Could you post the contents of the most recent /tmp/kde-USERNAME/rkwardXXXXX.tmp
after a broken session?

Regards
Thomas

P.S.:
[quote]> sessionInfo()[/quote]
Since a few days there is rk.sessionInfo(), which adds a few RKWard specific
lines to sessionInfo().
