Dear Brian, Normally I'd expect that a workspace saved from a previous session and loaded at the start of the current session would cause this kind of anomalous behaviour, but that doesn't explain why the Rcmdr starts up properly in a second (concurrent?) session, nor why it doesn't start up properly when R is run with the --vanilla switch. Can you report the result of sessionInfo() at the start of a session? If all else fails, you could try uninstalling and reinstalling R and packages.

John, It appears that the new version of R 3.6.3 does not have this issue. I will be doing more testing and will let you know if we have any issues.

Since no one else has reported a similar problem under R 3.6.2, I suspect that your installation was somehow broken or strangely configured. I guess that we'll never know what the source of the problem was.
