Dozens of R documentation tabs launched in external browser

[jeffmun]

When editing an R script if I place the cursor in the parentheses of an R function, focus jumps to the external browser for the local help page (e.g., http://127.0.0.1:11059/library/RDocumentation/doc/index.html?viewer_pane=1) and sometimes multiple tabs are launched. While trying to type this post, I was testing it and at one point over 100 tabs were launched before being able to get the cursor out of the function. This happens when R Tools > Editor Options > R > General > Statement Completion > Parameter Information is checked. Happens with and without R Tools > Editor Options > R > Advanced > Intellisense options on.

I'm using VS 2017 (15.5.2) R Tools 1.3.31108.1213

Though these tabs get launched, no intellisense is displayed. However, for local functions I have defined, intellisense is properly displayed when "Parameter Information" is checked.

Here's a screenshot of my Chrome tabs after it happened. It took less than 5 seconds for this many tabs to get launched.

Could you try if it happens with different browser? Also, the only command that launches help is Help on current..., I am wondering if I got bound to Enter or something?
