Arrows to navigate columns not working RStudio

[jahnavi]

I am working with a big dataset of over 500 variables (columns) and have been having some trouble navigating between the columns. The arrows (<< < > >>) that one uses to go back and forth between the columns randomly stopped working for me in my RStudio around 8-10 hours ago and haven't worked since. Things I have tried:

• Reinstalling RStudio
• Restarting my computer
• Updating MacOS to the latest
• Updating packages on R
• Leaving it alone for a few hours

Any help would be appreciated. For reference I use an M2 Macbook Air with MacOS Ventura 13.4 on it.

This seems to be the same issue reported here.

Viewer Does not show more than 50 columns

I am having the same issue, also with version 2023.06.0 Build 421

I am joining this thread because I am having the same issue. The arrows were working fine until I downloaded RStudio 2023.06.0+421. I am working on a MacBook Pro using OS Monterey 12.6 and R 4.2.0. Like @jahnavi I closed everything and restarted RStudio, reinstalled RStudio, and ensured everything was updated.
If it's helpful for anyone on this post, the link shared above has this workaround:
rstudioapi::writeRStudioPreference("data_viewer_max_columns", 1000L)
A word of caution around it: Make sure that the value is no larger than the number of columns. If you do, then the >> will become clickable, and clicking on it could cause the application to freeze.
Hopefully this issue gets fixed, it's incredibly annoying.
