Hi @GaryR
I experience a similar issue. The terminal panel is empty, no prompt appears.
I tried to close it, close RStudio, re-open it, close and restart individual terminals, to no avail.
Here is what the diagnostic shows:

and my session_info():

Edit
Rstudio version is 1.1.383, I don't know why it shows up in @knb's session_info and not mine.
