Data Editor does not reflect current data

RStudio IDE
1

Dear Posit Community,

I face astrange display problem with the built in data viewer.
Straight after calculation of a list variable I see this:

image469×394 7.46 KB

When I use str(c) I see the "real" current data:

List of 5
Passenger:List of 3 .. Id : num 1
.. DateOfBirth : chr "1988-05-02" .. PassengerCode: chr "Adu"
Passenger:List of 3 .. Id : num 2
.. DateOfBirth : chr "1999-01-01" .. PassengerCode: chr "Adu"
Passenger:List of 3 .. Id : num 3
.. Age : num 5 .. PassengerCode: chr "Child"
Passenger:List of 3 .. Id : num 4
.. Age : num 5 .. PassengerCode: chr "Child"
Passenger:List of 3 .. Id : num 5
.. DateOfBirth : chr "2025-05-02" .. PassengerCode: chr "Baby"

As you can see viewer's data does not reflect str(c) data.

I already changed to Software renderiung and deactivated all GPU ticks.

Do you have any suggestion to overcome this problem?
I am operation under Winodws Server 2022 Standard and use RSTudio 2026.05.0 Build 218.

Any help is highly appreciated!

Best regards from Austria,
Martin

Hi Gary,

Thanks, for your swift reply.
Right now I wanted to set up a small repo realizing that now teh calculated data and the viewer's presentation align perfectly.

Hence, I guess that I played around too much confusing thze system. I will keep a close on on this and in case that I face it once again I will follow your instructions immediately.

For now, thanks again for dealing with my request so swiftly.
I assume that we can close the thread.

All the best,
Martin

I've been caught by that before as well. Reopening the Data Viewer or refreshing the object after making changes is a good habit, especially when you're switching between different scripts or environments. It saves a lot of confusion.
