Thanks for the report. Probably related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1892701. I added "env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb" to /usr/share/applications/rstudio.desktop to prevent such crashes, but there's not much more we can do. Less so without a core dump or some error log.

Comment 2 Iñaki Ucar 2021-01-20 09:10:06 UTC

This bug was reported against an old version of RStudio. Hopefully, the issue would be solved in the current release (1.4). If not, please, do not hesistate to reopen the issue to provide new info.
