First attempt: Nope - works. Then I realized it opened in emacs...

OK.

Opening a .R file via clicking on it actually results in the crash as
well. The file is opened, but R crashes.


How did you install R? I installed via homebrew (And no, I don't expect
any help here for my case).

But I might add: maybe related - but R crashes in the GUI if I use
e.g. a non-existing function - maybe related?
