I had this problem as well, a lot, and it was frustrating and I did not find much reference to it online. I believe it occurs after you run a plot and then make the plotting window too small for R studio to redraw the plot. Then when run a line of code, it never runs or appears to be running indefinitely. The "STOP" sign does not show up either, so you cannot stop the process that way - I always had to force stop via control alt delete. After I starting paying attention to either clearing all plots or keeping the size of the window big enough to draw the plot, the problem totally stopped. I do not know/understand what the underlying problem is, but hopefully it is resolved in newer versions.
