If I set a breakpoint in a package function, then when execution hits that breakpoint, a SECOND COPY of the same source file is displayed in the code window. I can then step through, etc. with that window (I'll call that the "second version".) However, the red dot with the breakpoint stays in the original copy of the file. When debugging is over, the second copy stays open.
Associated notes:
- If I debug again, it does not display yet a third version if I havbe left the second version open.
- If I unset the breakpoint in the first version, it doesn't trace anymore.
- If I set a new breakpoint in the second version, it ignores any breakpoints in the first version (but does not remove the red dot). The red dot appears in the second version.
- The second version "sticks" in the sense that if I keep it displayed and close the first version, I can set and unset breakpoints in it and not have additional windows come up. However, if I disable all breakpoints in it and close it, then reopen the file, I am back to square one with a second version being displayed the first time I make and hit a breakpoint.
This is mostly annoying because it is disorienting and creates clutter. However, it can be more pernicious. For example, if I edit the first version of the file, those changes are not shown in the second version. And if I edit the second version of the file, I get an error message: ERROR: cannot remove earlier installation, is it in use?
I have tried restarting the system. I have tried upgrading to the latest version of RStudio. I have tried disabling and then re-enabling the --with-keep.source flag. None of this changes the behavior.
I cannot provide a reproducible example. This just started happening. If I swith to another project, I don't get the same behavior. When I switch back to the project where this happens, it happens again. So it is project-related.
