My R session *sometimes* gets unconnected to RStudio with error Error in plot.new() : could not open file

RStudio IDE

Sometimes, but just sometimes, it occurs that RStudio hangs with an error saying something like:

Error in plot.new() : 
  could not open file '/home/akronix/workspace/dendro/.Rproj.user/shared/notebooks/6C8E21B0-Seasonality-aggregated/1/ACF53DEDf3599a33/cstbowif0viyo_t/_rs_chunk_plot_001.png'

If I go to that directory, indeed, there's no that png file.

And from then on, the R session gets completely disconnected to RStudio an I can't do anymore computations with R. So I have to do Session > Restart R and Run All Chunks to get back to work.

Nevertheless, very often if I run that chunk of code again after restarting R, I get the correct plot without any issues and I can work as normal. The most annoying thing is having to restart R and run all the code, since some parts of my code takes a lot of time to compute.
