Using ggsave or svglite to save a blended plot svg causes Rstudio to crash

[davidhodge931]

Not sure if this is expected behaviour or not..

library(tidyverse)
library(palmerpenguins)
library(ggblend)
library(svglite)

penguins |>
  ggplot() +
  geom_density(aes(x = flipper_length_mm, fill = species))

ggsave("test.svg") #works

penguins |>
  ggplot() +
  blend(geom_density(aes(x = flipper_length_mm, fill = species)), 
        blend = "multiply")

ggsave("test.svg") #doesn't

This works... so maybe it's a bug with ggplot2::ggsave or svglite::svglite? Added a Issue to svglite

svg("test.svg")
penguins |>   ggplot() +
  blend(geom_density(aes(x = flipper_length_mm, fill = species)), blend = "multiply")
dev.off()

Hmm yeah, most likely an issue in the graphics device I would guess.

Think it's this
