Difficulties with R-Studio

I use the R-Studio app, Version 1.4.1103, for my R programming work on 
macOS Big Sur version 11.5. I find that the app switches from one window 
to another (within the app) sometimes, without a request that it do so. 
Sometimes I work for a long session and this does not occur, but at 
other times it does, yet I cannot find an explanation.  I had the same 
problem with previous versions of R. The problem is annoying, but the 
app is so good I have been putting up with it.

Do others face the same problem? I suppose it is likely an issue within 
R-Studio, since it does not occur with any other app. But is there 
anything I can do in my macOS configuration to solve the problem?

This has never happened to me (except when I touch the touchpad
accidentally :), so unfortunately I don't have an answer, just some
tips.

RStudio has an online forum. If you don't get an answer here in a
couple of days, you might want to try to ask your question there:
https://community.rstudio.com/

You can try the latest daily build from https://dailies.rstudio.com/

RStudio has an API that R code (including R packages) can use to
switch panels. Is it possible that you are using some R package that
does that?

Happens to me all the time on a Linux installation using Rstudio.   There?s some sort of mouse action that pulls up a screen to do something with the xml or http substrate of the IDE. The R.app IDE is much less unpredictable.
