[ESS-bugs] ess-mode 12.09-2 [<unknown>]; C-x C-r to evaluate a region with a simple if-else statement hangs. C-g then C-c C-c brings back the R prompt and prints the first line of the if statement, so it seems like its hanging there. Evaluated line...

This problem persists in ESS 13.05 using both Emacs 23.3.1, 24.3.1. It happens for any multi-line expression. So another example is if I call a function with arguments spaced out over multiple lines ESS/R will hang on the first line of the code.
ie.

plot(1:100,
      xlab = "foo",
      ylab = "gg")

Will not evaluate and C-g will show just "plot(1:100," at the R prompt, C-c C-c will kill the command and bring back the R prompt

Nothing of this kind here. Debian ESS should be upgraded to 13.05 today
or tomorrow. Check then if you can replicate it.

    Thanks,
