R Shiny rCharts Morris - rChart is not displaying (under particular circumstances)

Question

I came across a problem while using rCharts in my Shiny application. I generate dynamically 1-3 tabPanels (depending on the user selection) and in each of them one plot is rendered. Plot may be of two types: simple (with graphics libary) or rCharts (with morris library). The whole tabsetPanel is rendered within the uiOutput component, each time an user changes his input. The type of the ui output (plotOutput for simple plot or showOutput for rCharts) is defined when a tabPanel is rendered, so the plot does have a proper environment.

And the problem: simple plots (with graphics, ggplot2 etc.) do work OK - they are displayed correctly in a tabPanel. However, when I work with application and have 2 or 3 rCharts to be displayed, it happens that one chart is not displaying - almost at all (see the images below). Of course, such a problem does not appear with simple plots.

I tried to have the output size fixed, size flexible, but the problem still exists. I have varsions of R and the libraries as follows:

> R.Version()$version.string
[1] "R version 3.0.1 (2013-05-16)"
> packageVersion("Shiny")
[1] ‘0.7.0’
> packageVersion("rCharts")
[1] ‘0.3.51’

Thank you a lot for any suggestions.

rCharts working OK:

rCharts FAIL to be dispkayed ok:

EDIT: my code below:

UI

library(shiny)
library(Epi)

shinyUI(pageWithSidebar(  
  headerPanel("Header"),  

  sidebarPanel(        
    checkboxInput(inputId = "checkboxInputx", label = "function: x", value = TRUE),
    checkboxInput(inputId = "checkboxInputxpower2", label = "function: x^2", value =     FALSE),
    checkboxInput(inputId = "checkboxInput2x", label = "function:  2x", value = FALSE),

    actionButton("gobutton","GO!")
   ),

  mainPanel(    
    radioButtons("plottypechoice", "Choose plot type", c("simple", "rCharts")),    
    uiOutput("plotpanelcontent")
  )   
))

UPDATE:

I have asked Olly Smith, an author of morris.js library, to suggest a solution and I received a following response:

Morris can't correctly draw charts when they're not displayed on screen. When using Morris in tabbed applications, you need to redraw the active chart whenever the tab selection changes. There's a redraw() method on the chart objects that each of the Morris.Line/Bar/Donut constructors return that you can use to do this. Unfortunately, it's currently undocumented, but it's a stable part of the API now so it's safe to use.

UPDATE 2. :

I followed the Ramnath suggestions and update both Shiny and rCharts libraries version:

> packageVersion("Shiny")
[1] ‘0.8.0’
>  packageVersion("rCharts")
[1] ‘0.3.53’

and run the code just after restarting the R session. Unfortunately, plots seem to behave in even stranger way now. After doing actions in the following order:

1. set: "function: x", "rCharts", GO [OK],

2. add: "function: x^2" [see "not_ok_1" image attached below in the post],

3. add: "function: 2x" [see "not_ok_2" image attached below in the post].

I received the plot visualizations as follows:

1. OK

2. "not_ok_1" image

3. "not_ok_2" image
