Package: ess
Version: 5.3.0-1
Severity: normal
To reproduce the bug, do the following:
1. open an R session inside emacs (M-x R)
2. type the command options(error=recover) (changes handling of errors)
3. type, for example, ?help
No help window will appear, ESS will seem to be busy. Issuing Ctrl-G,
I get back to the ESS session.
4. typing ?help again, I get a help page with the formatting garbled,
eg (this might appear correct in your terminal with the words
underlined, but it should be plain text inside Emacs):
