[ESS] Is there a way to continue using emacs while C-c C-r ess-eval-region is running?

[Vitalie Spinu]

It's not technically a bug. It's just a limitation of the visual
execution of your code. ESS has to wait for each line for you to have
the benefit of seeing the lines as they are executed. If you do the {..}
trick you don't have that benefit anymore. So you might consider just
setting ess-eval-visibly-p to nil and forget about the issue. It's also
much faster this way.
