well,  "transparent" is even default... and I definitely can NOT
see a problem with the above.

and definitely not what you describe.

Can you give more details than the sessionInfo below ?

such as if you are running R inside Rstudio, or ???
Yes:  Inside RStudio.

You are correct:  It seems to be something with RStudio:  I just tested 
it with R in a Terminal, and this worked fine.

       Thanks.  That gives me more options for working around this problem.
