Classification: Applications
Product: rkward
Version First unspecified

Status: REPORTED
Severity: major

DESCRIPTION
The R Console is running and functioning properly. When executing commands
(such as importing a CSV file, running descriptive statistics, or generating a
histogram), the text code prints out and executes without any errors. Graphic
plots even appear successfully within the "Live Preview" window.However, the
final Output document window (the spreadsheet/HTML output viewer) is completely
broken. It remains entirely blank and fails to display any text summaries,
tables, or final results on the screen. The backend is carrying out actions
perfectly, but the user interface fails to render the output document.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open RKWard on macOS.
2. Import data from a CSV file.
3. Run descriptive statistics or generate a histogram.
4. Observe that the console logs the action and the preview looks fine, but the
main Output Window stays empty/blank.
OBSERVED RESULT
The Output document view is completely blank/white.
EXPECTED RESULT
The descriptive statistics tables and generated figures should display inside
the main Output document view.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a
terminal window): macOS Sonoma 14.6
KDE Plasma Version: N/A (Running natively on macOS)
KDE Frameworks Version:
Qt Version: [Available in Help -> About RKWard, e.g., 5.15.10]
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
---Problem description---
Please fill in the missing bits *in English*.
Please give a brief summary on the problem:
###The R Console executes commands perfectly, but the global HTML Output
document view remains completely blank and fails to display text summaries or
plots.###
What - in detail - did you do directly before you encountered this problem?
###I successfully imported a dataset from a CSV file into RKWard. I then
attempted to run basic descriptive statistics and generate a histogram from the
data. The commands printed and executed in the R console without any error
messages, and the histogram graphic appeared correctly in the "Live Preview"
panel. However, the final output document/spreadsheet viewer completely failed
to display the resulting tables or charts, showing only a blank screen.###
When you try to repeat the above, does the problem occur again (no, sometimes,
always)?
###Always. Every time an analysis or plot is sent to the main output document,
the window remains entirely white/empty.###
If applicable: When doing the same thing in an R session outside of RKWard, do
you see the same problem?
###No. Running the exact same code in standard R or RStudio prints the text
summaries and displays the graphic plots normally. The issue is strictly
isolated to RKWard's frontend output viewer.###
Do you have any further information that might help us to track this problem
down? In particular, if applicable, can you provide sample data and sample R
code to reproduce this problem?
###The backend appears to be writing the data correctly because the live
preview window renders the graphics flawlessly.###
RKWard is available in many different packagings, and sometimes problems are
specific to one method of installation. How did you install RKWard (which
file(s) did you download)?
###I downloaded the official .dmg installer from the RKWard website###
