From: Eric Hanchrow <eric.hanchrow <at> gmail.com> To: 15969 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#15969: 24.3.50; erc-button fails with error Date: Sun, 24 Nov 2013 22:43:58 +0000
I started "erc" with M-x erc RET.
In an erc buffer, I moved point onto a nick that appeared at the left margin.
I typed RET whois RET.
I expected to see a message like this appear in the erc buffer:
*** fledermaus is Vivek Dasmohapatra (~vivek <at> 87-127-114-209.static.enta.net)
Instead, I saw in the echo area:
eval: Symbol's value as variable is void: nick
After some back-and-forth with fledermaus, I wound up deleting the ``-*-
lexical-binding:t -*-`` from the top of erc-button.el, recompiling and
reloading that file ... and that made it work again. I don't understand
why.
