Commenting out these lines

  ;; auto-complete -- uses Ubuntu package 'auto-complete-el'
  ;; edd 2020-02-10 possible interaction with ESS
  ;(require 'auto-complete-config)
  ;(ac-config-default)

and launching a fresh Emacs, I do *not* see the bad behavior. This is a very
promising lead--thanks again Pavel!

Dirk
