Flextable not showing in viewer with v. 2.2.0 #770

First of all, thank you so much for this excellent extension!

I think I might have discovered a regression when using the flextable package with vscode-R v 2.2.0.

Describe the bug
I use the flextable package for outputting tables in rmd documents.
With previous versions of vscode-R when printing the flextable object the viewer would show the table.
However, with version v. 2.2.0 the viewer just shows a blank canvas.
When rolling back to 2.1.0 it works as expected.
I have tried printing a table with the gtsummary package and it still works with 2.2.0.

To Reproduce

flextable shows up blank in viewer:
flextable::flextable(as.data.frame(letters))

gtsummary table still works:
gtsummary::tbl_summary(as.data.frame(letters[1:5]))

but when converting to flextable it shows up blank again:
gtsummary::as_flex_table(gtsummary::tbl_summary(as.data.frame(letters[1:5])))

Do you want to fix by self? (We hope your help!)

Want to? Yes. Able to? Sadly no.

Expected behavior
Flextable tables showing in viewer as in previous versions.
