(but this has been happening for ~months)

Interpreter details:

Any

Describe the issue:

New variables that arrive in the Variables pane do not gently pulse to announce their arrival.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

Start a new R console and assign a few variables.

metasyntactic.mov

Expected or desired behavior:

The variables should give a gentle pulse to announce their arrival. You can see the original implementation and a video of the feature working correctly here:

#944

Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?

Nope.

Could it be related to theming/config? This works on my dev build:

What OS and theme are you using? I see the issue in Positron Dark and Positron Light as well as on dev and release builds on macOS.

I'm running on macOS too with Positron Dark:

Also works with light theme:

There's definitely a variable (hah!) in play somewhere. For me, notebook variables work but console variables do not!
