[ESS] some recent bugs/annoyances

[gerald.jean at dgag.ca]

Hello,

another annoyance, for me anyway, is when I am in a "*.q" buffer, that I
used to run Splus code, if I have no sessions opened, neither R, nor S+,
..., if I don't remember no Splus session is opened and submit some code
from that buffer, ESS just starts a new R session WITHOUT asking or
anything???  I reported this problem a few years ago, several versions back
but it is still the same.  Pesonally I think ESS should just either tell me
I have no sessions running or tell me I have no sessions running and ask me
if want to open one with a choice!!!  I have no problems R being the first
choice in the list but I don't think it should be launched by default!!!
After all, open source is a lot about choice, isn't it???

Thanks,

Gérald
