that's right. BTW, the R Console preview is not yet, what it's supposed
to be. It was working fine, until I added local() around the commands,
and now it's a bit pointless. Working on that.

As for "final" rendering, I figured a plugin might be the tool of
choice? As it would likely include various output formats and options
(not necessarily in a first version, of course). I wouldn't mind, if
somebody else could take a look into this!

Works for me. There is a splitter between the two views, and you should
be able to grab that and move it left or right. Can you confirm that
this works? In that case it might be enough to make the splitter handle
a bit more prominent.

Hm. Also cannot reproduce. Can you select text inside the preview?

Oh, wait, I can reproduce this, if and only if a status message (e.g.
warnings/errors) has been generated. But no problem on a "clean"
preview. Can you confirm this is the pattern you are seeing, too?

I'll try!
