RStudio console running extremely slow e.g. when typing in object from global environment

[trh23]

When typing objects into console window from the global environment for previewing, RStudio takes minutes to print to the console window or freezes. There is also a problem when running multi-line code. Only the first line prints to the console and the action doesn't seem to be running at all.

I went on vacation for a week and when I returned this was happening. I am using RStudio on my personal computer. I have uninstalled R and RStudio and re-installed (updated). There potentially could have been an issue with data.table, but I can load my data and attempt the action without loading any libraries and the problem still occurs. I also turned off the firewall and restarted Rstudio, but that didn't work either.

Here are the diagnostics and log that I retrieved (based on a closely related post's issue RStudio running abnormally slow for every action, including cleaning console and saving file.):

2023-03-31T23:02:01.274Z ERROR Failed to load http://127.0.0.1:27433: Error: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED (-102) loading 'http://127.0.0.1:27433/'
2023-03-31T23:02:01.513Z ERROR ERR_FAILED (-2) loading 'file:///Applications/RStudio.app/Contents/Resources/app-x64/.webpack/renderer/splash/index.html'

Not sure if this matters, but I checked the package contents and I don't see app-x64.

Current system(but problem was there before updates):
R 4.2.3 GUI 1.79 High Sierra build
RStudio: 2023.03.0+386
macOS Ventura 13.3

Make sure there’s no competing older versions. If no, try down-versioning to the “Elspeth” version, which is working for me on your setup under R4.2.2 on an M1.

Down-versioning worked! Thank you so much!
