[ESS-bugs] Re: [ESS] hitting return won't move the cursor down

[Tiago R Magalhaes]

Hi Martin

when this happens I'm writing scripts in a .R file. I've never had a 
problem in the *R* buffer
I have experience the problem in the middle of the buffer AND at the 
end of the buffer as well
One thing I have noticed is that it is always at the end of a written 
line - ie, if I move the cursor to an "emtpty" line the problems 
disappears and I've never experienced it with an empty line

I got access to the web site you mentioned earlier but have not been 
able to get access to the web site on these past hours; I'll try 
again tomorrow
(I guess I have to substitute the files in the ESS folder with the 
ones that are in the web page. save them as txt. I'm sorry for these 
basic questions but I'm a basic user on this thing)
As soon as I get access to the site, I'll use the new ESS and let you 
know whether it solves the problems

I'm also curious - am I the only one having this problem?

let me know if there's anything else I can do to help - I'm very 
happy and proud! to do it.
