I have installed RStudio on a new computer, and has developed encoding issues. When I type accented text in console (no file writing or reading involved, just plain console) I lose Czech accents (as in this example - notice the accented N and Č)
> "Ňuf ňuf ňufičky"
[1] "Nuf nuf nuficky"
I know it is a settings issue - I have other R installations that behave correctly - but I am unable to find exact place in my settings to force UTF-8 behavior. Any help would be appreciated.

For the benefit of posterity - I overcame my problem by setting code page to 1250 (while keeping US English as my language).
if (.Platform$OS.type == 'windows') {
Sys.setlocale(category = 'LC_ALL','English_United States.1250')
} else {
Sys.setlocale(category = 'LC_ALL','en_US.UTF-8')
}
in the .Rprofile
Perhaps:
new.locale <- ifelse(.Platform$OS.type=="windows", "Czech_Czech Republic.1250", "en_US.UTF-8")
Sys.setlocale("LC_CTYPE", new.locale)

I'm having issues with Rstudio, where I'm trying to edit my code snippets, but when I go to Tools -> Global Options -> Code -> Edit Snippets.., the snippet editor opens up with the window behind the global options pop-up, while the text for the editor shows up in front of the global options pop up. I'm using R version 4.0.2, and I've tried deleting and re-downloading R and R studio, as well as restarting my session. I'll include a picture of my issue:

Setting rendering engine to 'Desktop OpenGL' solved this for me.
I run memory.limit() on my 48G Windows 10 machine and it returned 1.759219e+13. This is head scratching. I am using R 3.6.1.
Is memory.limit() broken? Any other way to obtain memory limit?

This is an issue with RStudio (hopefully fixed in the next update). It works well in RGui.
You can use disk.frame::df_ram_size() instead. It works on Windows 10 with RStudio and R 3.6.1.
You can install disk.frame using install.packages("disk.frame")
I have used fread to read data. But the error has arisen:
showProgress is not type integer but type 'logical'. Please report.
Here is the reproducible script:
library(data.table)
x <- "sgsddsfsfsf"
write.csv2(x,"check.csv", row.names=FALSE)
fread("check.csv", stringsAsFactor=FALSE)

Just fixed. Please try again from dev. Thanks for reporting.
Fixed fread() error occurring for a subset of Windows users: showProgress is not type integer but type logical, #1944 and #1111. Our tests cover this usage (it is just default usage), pass on AppVeyor (Windows), win-builder (Windows) and CRAN's Windows so perhaps it only occurs on a specific and different version of Windows to all those. Thanks to #demydd for reporting. Fixed by using strictly logical type at R level and Rboolean at C level, consistently throughout.
Before a project is open, R rapidly throws this error:
Surprisingly, I do not find anything related to this error with google. Even if, apparently, it does not cause problems to the working session, I am interested in its effects, to avoid possible future inconveniences.

Here an example of the subsequent working directory, even if this behaviour occurs for any project I open. It does not occurs when opening an isolated script.

I am trying to put a copy of my Rprofile from my work computer onto my home computer, but R does not seem to be able to find it.
I have tried several responses to similar questions including:
In Windows, you set the R_USER profile by opening up a command line and running:
SETX R_PROFILE_USER "C:/.../.Rprofile"
Sys.getenv("R_PROFILE_USER")
[1] "C:/Users/Sally/Rprofile"
but this does not work.
I also tried:
candidates <- c( Sys.getenv("R_PROFILE"),
file.path(Sys.getenv("R_HOME"), "etc", "Rprofile.site"),
Sys.getenv("R_PROFILE_USER"),
file.path(getwd(), ".Rprofile") )
Filter(file.exists, candidates)
[1] "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-32~1.2/etc/Rprofile.site"
I changed the location of the Rprofile file to match the Filter results with no luck.

If anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated.

That is Windows for you -- you need to define $HOME as an evironment variable, or place it in $USER or ... whatever else they decide next.
On operating systems with an x or X in the name, $HOME is well defined and ~/.Rprofile is found.
Possible workaround: just edit $RHOME/etc/Rprofile.site but remember that this file will vanish next time you upgrade R on Windows.
