Re: [R-SIG-Mac] How can I stop my R console and other R windows "flickering" after I updated my Mac OS to Sonoma 14.0?
I have the same problem in R app, but not in R studio, so there is a simple
workaround at this stage. Others have reported the same (problem and R studio
working ok).

Dear All,
I updated my Apple Silicon M1 Pro MacBook from Ventura to Sonoma 14.0. I have
the latest version of R for Apple Silicon (4.3.1, "Beagle Scouts"). I also have
the latest version of XQuartz (2.8.5).
On Ventura, my R setup worked fine ("classic" R.app GUI using console and
script windows, not Rstudio or terminal). However, with Sonoma, when I try and
toggle between the R console and an R script, the windows transition at very
high speed between each other, making it nearly impossible to select either the
console or the script.
This "flickering" phenomenon lasts for ~ 10-15 seconds each time I change
windows between console and script, making the software nearly unusable.
Changing the screen refresh rate does not help.
The problem is specific for R.app and does not affect other software.
Any suggestions gratefully received. I have also posted this question to
stackoverflow.
Many thanks,
Desmond Smith

Thanks so much for the information, Simon! Glad to know it is just not me…
It was indeed ill-advised of me to upgrade the Operating System so soon. But,
by bitter experience do we near ever closer to saintliness…
Thanks very much, again!
Cheers,
Des

Desmond,
thanks for the report. There seem to be windows focus issue in Sonoma so I
would not recommend upgrading at this point. Hopefully this will be fixed in a
future macOS update (the .0 versions are notoriously flaky) - in the meantime
I'll see if there is any work-around we could do in R.
Cheers,
Simon
