It is an ESS problem. Specifically, in ess-R-display-vignettes.

The (nth N el2) calls are often wrong. 
This can be seen by consulting *ess-command-output* immediately
after ess-R-display-vignettes is run (e.g. by typing 'v' in an ess-help
buffer).

Or even just looking at *[R]vignettes* where the 'title's are given as
the 'topic's, etc.


The fields in order are:

Package
Dir
Topic      
File
Title
R
PDF

I have changed these lines in ess-R-display-vignettes and after refreshing
the  *[R]vignettes* buffer all seems well.


39:    (setq path (nth 1 el2))
46:   'vignette (file-name-sans-extension (nth 6 el2))
48:   'help-echo (concat path "/doc/" (nth 6 el2)))
54:   'help-echo (concat path "/doc/" (nth 3 el2)))
60:   'help-echo (concat path "/doc/" (nth 5 el2)))
61:       (insert (format "\t%s\n" (nth 4 el2)))
