Description
Describe the bug
Sometimes the plot window pops up triggered by some command other than plot such as ? or traceback.
To Reproduce
I haven't figured out the exact repro steps. It seems to happen when a source a script that has both a plot and a warning or error in it. However, it doesn't happen 100% of the time even in this situation.
It's something along the lines of these steps, but again only happens sometimes, and I haven't managed to figure out why:
sourcea script with both a plot and a warning- close the plot window
- run
?mean
Result: both plot window and help window open.
I'll post an MRE once I'm able to identify the exact trigger. Figured it would be good to open an issue even without one in case others are having the same issue, they can post here.
Can you fix this issue by yourself? (We appreciate the help)
Not sure. If the problem is in R, then probably. If the problem is in typescript, probably not.
Expected behavior
Only help window to open.
