When in debugger, any action in console changes active document

[hadley]

System details

RStudio Edition : Desktop
RStudio Version : 2021.12.0 Build 91
OS Version      : 
R Version       : 

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Add the following code to a file, save it, and source it:

   a <- function() b()
   b <- function() c()
   c <- function() {
     x <- 10
     browser()
     x
   }
   a()

2. Open a new document.

3. Type 1 in the console and press enter.

4. The active tab moves away from the new document and back to the source file

Describe the problem in detail

Describe the behavior you expected

Running code in the console shouldn't change the active tab

• I have read the guide for submitting good bug reports.
• I have installed the latest version of RStudio, and confirmed that the issue still persists.
• If I am reporting an RStudio crash, I have included a diagnostics report.
• I have done my best to include a minimal, self-contained set of instructions for consistently reproducing the issue.

I'm pretty sure this is a reasonable recent regression, and it's super annoying when debugging.

The debugger does this intentionally in many cases; e.g. if you use a stepping command then it switches you back to the source window so you can see where the instruction pointer has moved. However, it shouldn't be doing it for any statement you run.

Ah makes sense!

Verified Fixed

RStudio Edition : Desktop
RStudio Version : 2021.12.0-daily+110
OS Version      : mac os 11.5.2
R Version       : 4.1.1

Verified that in the case outlined above, the focus now remains on the new document and does not return to the source file after typing into the console and pressing enter.

This is also happening in

RStudio Workbench
2021.09.0 Build 351.pro6
© 2009-2021 RStudio, PBC
"Ghost Orchid" Release (50423e45, 2021-09-23) for Ubuntu Bionic

and it is really annoying.
Is there a way of disabling the Source Viewer forever?

Thanks,

@jcrodriguez1989; the situation should be improved in the latest daily builds. Would you be willing to test and report back?

@ jcrodriguez1989 ; ситуация должна быть улучшена в последних ежедневных сборках . Вы бы хотели протестировать и доложить?

Gentlemens, I use a full-fledged docker layer roker/r studio:4.1.1, respectively, I would like to know when the official release will be released? Because using R with such a debugger is a very big pain(

[slipkid90515]

Just got a new computer and have been experiencing this same issue. Is there a more formalized workaround besides the daily builds?

[kevinushey]

This should already be resolved in the latest release (2022.02.1). If you're still having trouble, please file an issue with more details.

For re-testing:

1. Add the following code to a file, save it, and source it:

a <- function() b()
b <- function() c()
c <- function() {
  x <- 10
  browser()
  x
}
a()

2. While in the debugger, open a new document.

3. Type 1 in the console and press enter. The focus should stay on the new document.

4. Type n in the console and press enter. Since this is a debugger command, the focus should move back to the file containing the function being debugged.
