RStudio's autocompletion feature for file names or paths isn't working

Hi, all
I've set a path where I have some documents, but when I type file.path("") in RStudio and press the Tab key, the options for my document names don't appear. It seems that the Tab key autocompletion feature has disappeared.However, my function autocompletion works fine. I don't need to press the Tab key to autocomplete; when I type the first few letters of a function, many function options automatically appear for me to choose from. I've tried going to Tools > Global Options and setting autocomplete there, but it still doesn't work.


This RStudio software is installed on a company internal server (Linux), and I don't have permission to reinstall it. My colleagues are using the same server path and RStudio installation without any issues. What can I do to restore the Tab key autocompletion feature?
