Monitor flickering after switching workplace v2

[bvernot]

Hello,
I'm having the same issue as listed in this [locked] post.

Monitor flickering after switching workplace

Basics: R version 3.6.0 | R Studio version 1.2.1335 MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel 4 Core i RAM: 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3 Problem RStudio runs fine, but when I switch monitors going from Home Office to Office or traveling, RStudio starts flickering in the same frequency as the mouse pointer does. The "flickering" is a change of the background color intensity (same color but lighter) but strongly enough, that I have to close and restart RStudio. The problem doesn't occur every time, but ca 80% of the time. Any help is appreciated! Thanks much in advance. George

The youtube video that was linked in that post is exactly what I'm seeing. I have a similar setup, also - possibly it's something to do with running this on a macbook, and plugging in an external monitor? I restarted Rstudio and it went away - but it has definitely occurred multiple times. I'll let you know if it happens again, and under what circumstances. FYI, before restarting RStudio I tried the last two items listed in Kevin's response, and neither of them stopped it.

RStudio Version 1.2.1335
Build 1351 (f1ac3452)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019)
2,6 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB

To maintain context, those suggestions that didn’t help were:

@kevinushey

• Is there anything else you can do within the IDE to stop the flickering? (Resizing the window; moving the window from one monitor to another; other things I might have not thought of)
• If you right click somewhere on the IDE surface, you should see a Reload menu item. This will reload the IDE surface. Does doing this stop the flickering?

One other thing worth checking: does enforcing the use of Software Rendering make a difference? https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017886674-Troubleshooting-RStudio-Rendering-Errors
