R graphics engine version 14 is not supported by this version of RStudio

[lgatto]

Describe the bug

R graphics engine version 14 is not supported by this version of RStudio. The Plots tab will be disabled until a newer version of RStudio is installed.

To Reproduce

Positive control: start a container with the latest release:

docker run -e PASSWORD=bioc -p 8787:8787 bioconductor/bioconductor_docker:RELEASE_3_13

theb run plot(1:10) in the console to generate a plot in the Plots tab.

However, this fails with devel:

docker run -e PASSWORD=bioc -p 8787:8787 bioconductor/bioconductor_docker:devel

plot(1:10) throws the warning above and produces the plot in Rplots.pdf instead than on screen.

Hi @lgatto and @bschilder No, i've not addressed this yet. It's an issue passed down from rocker/rstudio I belive.
