My RStudio opens plots in extra windows instead of the plot pane. How do I get RStudio to plot in the plot pane again? Restarting did not help. https://stackoverflow.com/a/37264114/4533188 did not help either. My RStudio-Version is 1.0.136.

I am a system administrator who just dealt with this same annoying problem on several workstations. This is actually a bug with RStudio that can be fixed by insuring that you are using the latest version of both R and Rstudio, and then additionally checking that RStudio is actually using the latest version of R.
My solution was to completely uninstall both R and RStudio, then reinstall both.

Seriously? But I did not have the problem two weeks ago and as far as I know I did not update (I think)... – Make42 Apr 27 '17 at 18:03

Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of information out there about this problem. https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/209547948-No-graphs-in-the-plot-pane – Christopher Alexander Campbell Apr 27 '17 at 18:05

I can't really tell you :( sorry. We use a special version of Rstudio that ties into our institutional cluster. – Christopher Alexander Campbell Apr 27 '17 at 18:43
