#60 growing input windows

[m.eik]

i've just discovered a small display bug in 0.5.2: calling "readline()" makes rkward come up with an input window -- that's fine. but if you invoke "readline()" several times, these windows grow in size each time, horizontally as well as vertically.

see for yourself:
a) type "readline()" in the R-konsole repeatedly
b) try a "for" loop:
for(i in c(1:5)) readline()
c) try with "lapply":
lapply(c(1:5), readline)
...

in addition, the context segment of that window could probably be tuned a little, try this:

for(i in c(1:5)){
cat(i) # just to provoke the context display
readline()
}

to me it's a little confusing to have both segments shown with the same style. e.g., would it help to do without the white background for the context output? the window could be a lot smaller as well, but this is probably due to the growing effect described above.

Hi Meik!

Do you still see this? Seems to work for me.
