Sorry about not including the actual init.el file, and thank you to Rodney for letting me know to do so. The version I use is included below. It's Professor Paul Johnson's init.el file, with a few modifications I made such as comment eclipse functionality, setting C-s as the save command for a buffer, and removing warnings about opening large files. I can include any other information about the system that would be helpful in this case, and I've included the text that would pop up for a bug report below the init.el file, in case that would help.
Best,
Ben

;; This version? 2015-10-01?
;; I ran into some trouble swapping various versions of ESS in
;; my user directory, so I started tearing this apart. Cutting out
;; stuff I don't remember.
;;
;; My init file alters user interaction with R via ESS. Most
;; importantly
;; 1. *R* should start in its own frame
;; 2. S-[Return] is hot key to send line to *R*. This replaces
;; now default C-[Return]. I need this to protect CUA
;; mode rectangle selection
;; 3. General Emacs settings discourage "frame splitting" that
;; the usual Emacs users seem to like.
;; 4. Slight simplification of the menu under File. I don't see
;; need for separate "create" and "open" choices. So I put them
;; together
;; 5. See next paragraph about the MELPA package manager
;;
;; See my companion lecture
;; "Emacs Has No Learning Curve"
;; http://pj.freefaculty.org/guides/Rcourse
;;
;; 2015-03-02
;; Following allows use of Emacs24 package manager.
;; To use, run emacs, then do
;; M-x list-packages
;; To see everything available at that moment on melpa.
;; After that, seriously consider installing ess-smart-underscore.
