I understood it was the development version (as the ESS page lists 13.09-1
as the current stable version). As for the 13.09-2, it is not my fault :-):
I just copied what gets left in *Messages* when I type

M-x ess-version

ess-version: 13.09-2 [elpa: 20140507.2352] (loaded from /home/ramon/.emacs.d/elpa/ess-20140507.2352/)

I hadn't noticed that.

I understood I was not using the stable version. But after reading these
entries, from 2012,

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12805873/changing-indentation-in-emacs-ess
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/ess-bugs/2012q4/000844.html

I did not know if this was the same issue popping up again (or me doing
something wrong).  (Yes, sure, I just found

https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/ess-bugs/2014q2/001064.html
)
