Terminal turns to blank

RStudio IDE
1

My Rstudio terminal keeps in blank and does not react to any operation. I do see a "terminal 2" comes out, though if I create a new terminal by Tool > Terminal > New Terminal rather than clicking options in the terminal tab or shortcut). Originally I set it to show the git bash, and now the git function works from the "Git" tab but terminal shows nothing. I'll appreciate any help!

Hello, welcome to community! Sorry for the oddity.

I am a little confused as to what is done to get this to happen?

  • Are you following a particular pattern of interaction with your RStudio IDE before this occurs?
  • Can you provide any steps folks here might take to replicate this?

System Information:

  • RStudio Edition: (Desktop or Server)
  • RStudio Version:
  • OS Version: Windows >= 8
  • R Version: 3.5.0
  • RStudio application log files: rstd.io/support-ide-log-files

Hi, sorry for making these confusion. The issue just happened relatively after I did the Windows latest update (1803). The terminal worked perfect before that. I tried to reinstall the latest version of git and both stable and daily-building version of Rstudio. Nothing changes. Sorry I don't know how to provide replicated sample for this case, given this is not a problem of git or any command.

Here's the system information

RStudio Edition : Desktop
RStudio Version : 1.2.650
OS Version : x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)
R Version : 3.5.0 (2018-04-23)
Applicaiton log: sorry, as a "new" user, I can't upload it here. Do you want me to attach it in the github issue?

I also posted an issue in Github, https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/2849, where you can see more information about the software environment I'm working on.

The problem is solved with a newer developing version of RStudio. More details are here https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/2849.
