Using R in ess freeze for few second when cursor in print() function

[boboRAY]

I'm writing R in spacemacs Every time when my cursor go into print('cursor slow here'), my spacemacs freeze for a few second and become very laggy in print function Can anyone help here Thanks

Are you writing directly at the R prompt (i.e. the "inferior" R buffer) or in a separate R script (i.e., an "R-mode" buffer)?

Which spacemacs branch are you on? What version of ESS do you have installed?

Hi @izahn

I have this problem both in R prompt and R scirpt (After I started an iESS buffer)

Where can I check my spacemacs branch and ESS version?

@boboRAY I never noticed this until I tried turning smartparens mode on (I usually disable it). For me I only have problems in the iESS buffer, not in R scripts, so it seems that we are not seeing exactly the same thing. Nevertheless, can you try disabling smartparens and see if that fixes things for you? You can disable it by adding it to dotspacemacs-excluded-packages, e.g., I have dotspacemacs-excluded-packages '(yasnippet smartparens) in my .spacemacs.

@izahn Thanks for reply. I had tried and seems no problems here.

@boboRAY do you mean that excluding smartparens fixes the slowdown you were noticing in ESS? If so I don't think this issue should be closed. While I personally hate smartparens and disable it anyway, lots of people like it and it would be nice for them if it didn't break ESS. Lets leave this issue open to encourage someone to look into why smarparens and ESS don't play nicely together.

@izahn Yes, it fixed my problems!
