Yes, I will report that.
Yesterday, I made RPMs for ESS 17.11 and forgot about this problem
before installing that in our computer lab. Within 30 minutes all of
the Emacs 24 users were yelling about the starting directory being out
of whack.

Hi Lionel,
Thank you for the response. Since I noticed your e-mail on Dec 5 that
Emacs 25 has no problem on this issue, I have already upgraded Emacs
to 25.3.2. So, I do not have Emacs 24 and can not contribute this
issue anymore. Anyway, thank you for your kindness.

It seems there is an issue with Emacs 24, I'll look into it.
Could you open a github issue please? And confirm there that
you still see the problem when you open Emacs with -q flag
(to prevent loading of init file).

Hi there,
Similar trouble happens to me.

ESS always starts in the parent directory of current directory. Nothing
to do with "R" directory.
Any help?
$ lsb_release -d

$ emacs --ver
I was running the dev version of ESS in Melpa. I cleared that out.
With Ubuntu Emacs 24.5, I still see the trouble. However, problem
disappeared with Emacs 25.1, which I notice is now available in the
standard Ubuntu repository. Rodney S wrote and said he did not see
problem in RedHat with Emacs 2
Startup in the project/package root is experimental and isn't
enabled by default.
Is it possible you are using a dev version from a month or so ago?
For instance you could have installed it with melpa. The released
version or the current dev version should not exhibit that behaviour.
Best,
Lionel
I think this is a consequence of the recent feature which sets the default
directory to the package directory. It looks like it treats your tmp directory
as a package. @Lionel?
