hist() returns "figure margins too large"

[subbywan]

When running hist(), I get "figure margins too large".

Originally, I had 5 histograms stacked on top of each other. In RStudio, I can adjust the graphics parameters to allow this with
par(mfrow = c(5, 1))

I can't get the same to run in Positron, even if I reset graphics, and readjust params to specify
par(mfrow = c(1, 1))
and run only 1 histogram
hist(hist_list_me)

I've maxed out the plots panel to the full extent of a 27" monitor, and tried to adjust the zoom as well, but I'm stuck getting:

hist(hist_list_me)
Error in plot.new():
! figure margins too large

1. ├─graphics::hist(hist_list_me)
2. └─graphics::hist.default(hist_list_me)
3. ├─base::plot(...)
4. └─graphics:::plot.histogram(...)

5. └─graphics::plot.new()
   

Both RStudio and Positron are running the same instance of R 4.4.3.

Has anyone figured this out?

What version of Positron are you using? We've fixed a number of issues related to par in the latest build. If you haven't updated recently, could you update to >= 2025.04.0-173 and let us know if the issue persists?
