I had all sorts of problems doing simple editing of C source files. |
| 17 |
It seems like I couldn't edit for more than a dozen keystrokes before |
| 18 |
it would "pop up" a lisp debugger window containing an unintelligible |
| 19 |
(to me) traceback. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Once that happened, all sorts of things broke: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
* matching brace highlight stopped working. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
* Ctrl-XS didn't know the path/filename associated with the buffer. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
* The F8/compile command stopped working. |

I hadn't noticed that one, but 24 was so unstable for me that I didn't |
| 35 |
use it for very long before I went back to 23. |

I have that enabled in my .emacs file anyway. |

Maybe there's something incompatible with some of my add-ons ( Cscope, |
| 47 |
and nxhmtl-mumamo-mode are probably the big ones), but I didn't find |
| 48 |
24 usable enough to notice too many differences other than "23 works |
| 49 |
and 24 doesn't". |
