this is the approximate sequence of the last crash:
(0) open an existing package project;
(1) read a couple of CSV files;
(2) type a save command, e.g., save(dataname, "filenam,rda");
(3) browse the internet on a second VM (second monitor) and decide to change he command to saverds());
(4) move the mouse to the first VM screen and click on the console window;
(5) R Studio froze.
Notes:
- earlier crashes all occurred upon somehow clicking on the GUI;
- it seems that this has to do with going back and forth between the two VM monitors.
