Maybe I don't know which extra spaces you mean?

They want to follow the recommendations in the Writing R Extensions. I
think that's a good thing!  It is the clearest style guidance in the R
docs. 4 spaces, and indentation under long function names is now more
consistent.

You mean different spaces?

I can't reproduce this on Debian Jessie, installed from repo packages, no
manual config. With Emacs 24.3 ess 13.05.  You don't mention your details.
I suspect some legacy configs linger, maybe old ESS files floating about. I
have some other VM handy, could try replicate if you tell what you
run/install.

And same funny Splus error happens if you remove your custom start File and
run M-x R to initiate? Maybe the Emacs wonks who hate the button sabotaged
it :)  Like you, I use the big blue R, but people say 'tusk, an amateur'
when they see me do it.

I am Just curious about your trouble. I am going into KU Summer Stats Camp
mode now and the campers will hit every little snag like this and it pays
me to be ready.

I'd be interested to know ...
