[ESS] Password prompt inactive

[Hüsing, Johannes]

Hi all,
running the following script from RStudio results in an open mini dialog window asking for my password, entered keyboard characters are hidden.

library(DBI)
library(getPass)
library(dplyr)

  con <- dbConnect(RPostgres::Postgres(),
                   dbname = "EpiData",
                   host='somehost',
                   port=5432,
                   user= if(!is.na(user)) user else readline(),
                   password=getPass())

Running the same script out of an ess session results in an alternating character ("\" -> "/" -> "-" repeat) displayed right of the session name, indicating that some process is busy. As I am using Windows, I can look at the processes using task manager. The process named "R for Windows terminal front-end" has been started since I entered "M-x run-ess-r-latest". Task Manager doesn't indicate any significant load on CPU or storage.

This behaviour did not occur before, and I cannot recall what I have been doing lately which would have caused this behaviour.
