Lot of problems with Elspeth on Ventura arm64 (maybe x86_64, too). I don’t have this one and have only been able to fix some of the others. Next, I’m going to try a development version.

Interesting, please keep me posted on how that goes! For now, are there any other versions I should download and see if that works?

Will, do. Haven't had luck with downversioning, though.

I tried the latest daily release, and still no joy.

RStudio 2022.12.1+360 "Elsbeth Geranium" Release (974ce9490cc3e0e75855dbf216047027498ccc56, 2023-01-18) for macOS
