Description

Describe the problem

I'm working on multiple Shiny apps with different themes and sometimes when I run and A, it uses the theme from app B. Even though I cleared the memory using gc() and removed everything from the working environment in R. Is this normal behaviour? Sorry, but I cant reproduce it.

Research direction

No source file or test is identified, and the report says the problem cannot be reproduced. Start by testing multiple Shiny apps with different themes while checking whether gc() or clearing the R working environment changes the result. Done means determining whether themes persist across apps and documenting a reliable way to remove them, if one exists.
