Cannot arrange multiple R plots in same plotting space with par

R 4.4.0

Steps to reproduce the issue:

Run reprex

Reprex:

par(mfrow=c(3,1))

hist(iris$Petal.Width [iris$Species == "setosa"],
     xlim = c(0,3),
     breaks = 9,
     main = "Petal Width for Setosa",
     xlab = "",
     col = "red")

hist(iris$Petal.Width [iris$Species == "virginica"],
     xlim = c(0,3),
     breaks = 9,
     main = "Petal Width for Virginica",
     xlab = "",
     col = "green")

hist(iris$Petal.Width [iris$Species == "versicolor"],
     xlim = c(0,3),
     breaks = 9,
     main = "Petal Width for Versicolor",
     xlab = "",
     col = "blue")

par(mfrow=c(1,1)) # reset layout

This usually happens in RStudio if the plots pane is too small. Enlarging the plots view in Positron doesn't seem to help. Using par(mfrow=c(1,3)) does work if the plots view is wide enough but doesn't always update to show the last plot. It does fail if setting a custom plot size of 100x100. A larger custom plot size still has an error with the reprex.

What did you expect to happen?

All three plots render in the same plotting space like this:

Were there any error messages in the output or Developer Tools console?

Error in `plot.new()`:
! figure margins too large
