It is running on MDI mode (default). It appears that if I save the preferences in the default (My Documents) folder after I make the change, the problem disappears. I was just "Apply"-ing the changes and then "OK" without saving the new preferences first. As a result, I did not have an Rconsole file in My Documents.
This might be the reason why the problem was not reproducible by the development team.

That too is not really reproducible. One possible crucial piece of missing information: is RGui being run in SDi or MDI mode?

Yes, and that is PR#7277. -- Brian D.
