Hello, I'm the user that run into this bug, the exact output of the command are: > C-h v eldoc-documentation-function RET eldoc-documentation-function is a variable defined in ‘eldoc.el’. Its value is ‘ignore’ Original value was ‘eldoc-documentation-default’ This variable has an alias: ‘eldoc-documentation-strategy’. > C-h v eldoc-documentation-strategy RET eldoc-documentation-strategy is a variable defined in ‘eldoc.el’. Its value is ‘ignore’ This variable is an alias for ‘eldoc-documentation-function’. This variable is obsolete since eldoc-1.1.0; use ‘eldoc-documentation-function’ instead. If it helps to add information to what Alex said.
