View() shows blank pane in RStudio Desktop Pro 2023.06.2

RStudio IDE

I installed RStudio Desktop Pro version 2023.06.2 yesterday, and now when I use View() I get a blank pane. Anyone else experiencing this?

To repro: Open RStudio, run

> x<-data.frame(x=runif(50))
> View(x)

... observe that you get a blank pane showing no data. The same thing happens if I click on the x object in the environment pane.

sessionInfo() is as follows:

> sessionInfo()

Today I actualize and everything it´s OK. Perhaps:
Reset the computer and try again
or control button and click RStudio, opens other Versions that you installed before.

What finally worked was deleting the RStudio app and reinstalling it. It was the same version, so I don't know why this should have any effect, but my problem is solved.

Great! thanks for sharing how you resolved it.

Reinstalling didn't work for me, but tweaking a line of code did work (I can't take the credit for this solution but figured I'd post it here).

sed -i.bak 's/?? /== undefined ? maxRows : parsedLocation./'  /Applications/RStudio.app/Contents/Resources/resources/grid/dtviewer.js

Thanks for the workaround! This is helpful to investigate. Out of curiosity, where did you find this workaround?

Thanks! I filed this as issue 13624 in the RStudio open source repo. You can follow any progress on there.

We have a fix for this in build 2023.09.0+440 of the release that we're currently working on. We haven't been able to reproduce the problem internally, though. Would any of you be willing to try it out? Please note that these builds are for test and development purposes only, not production use.
