@rxthlessbeats thanks so much! can you try running interactive_regression() in R from the Command Prompt of Windows? It can do all the things RStudio can do but without the interface. I'd like to know if it works in just base R. Let me know if that is confusing. Command Prompt can be found using:

Type "command prompt" into the Start menu to search for it. You can also type "cmd" (the short name of the executable that runs the Command Prompt) if you prefer. 

Then, just run R at the prompt.

Also @rxthlessbeats, could you make sure that your RStudio zoom is set to 100% (you might have zoomed in to increase font size; but this can distort the plotting locations -- a bug in RStudio)

Seems at first to be a bug in RStudio on Windows/Linux:
rstudio/rstudio#12682 – original poster suggests that setting zoom to 100% fixes for now

Windows users are reporting that best accuracy comes at Windows scaling 100%, RStudio zoom 70%-80%
