[ESS-bugs] ess-mode 13.09 [svn: 5778 (2013-09-27)]; must start graphics on mac explicitly

[Vitalie Spinu]

There is an even more severe issue on mac with emacs/ESS/R. See
https://github.com/emacs-ess/ESS/issues/36

It could not be an ESS issue but something at a much lower level and
only specific to mac.

Can you reproduce in emacs shell or os terminal with the same start
args?

If you don't start the device but load the library grDevices, does it
help?

I have the following in my .Rprofile on ubuntu:

require(grDevices)
X11.options(type="nbcairo")

to solve a re-display issue on graphic devices.
