Subject: 24.4.50; "byte-code: `recenter'ing a window that does not display
 current-buffer." when composing a message
Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2014 10:42:13 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

When I try to compose an email, either directly or by pressing 'm' in
Gnus, I get the message:

`recenter'ing a window that does not display current-buffer.

This is using Emacs built from source on June 9th 2014, running on Mac
OSX 10.9.3. The message appears to come from a change to add additional
validation to src/window.c on June 6th with SHA:

Set debug-on-error to t and show us a backtrace, please.

If you're not actively working on Emacs's code, I'd appreciate if you
could use the `emacs-24' branch rather than the `trunk', so as to help
us debug the upcoming 24.4 release.

Here’s the stack trace after setting debug-on-error true and creating a
message with compose-mail:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "`recenter'ing a window that does not
display current-buffer.")

I have org-mode as my default major-mode which, looking at the stack trace,
may be significant.

So that's a duplicate of #17724. It is fixed in org-mode (upstream) master
branch. The easy fix is to use emacs-24 branch :)

(otherwise just remove that call to recenter in org-overview).

PS: The change about throwing an error when recentering a window
that does not display the current buffer breaks ~37 tests in Org
master branch, even with this fix.  I need to digg this further.

For me, fixing also org-fix-ellipsis-at-bol made all tests run as
expected.

Now that I think about it, I should make `car' signal an error every
100th call, as well.  Would flag many bugs (with some false positives,
of course, but what's a few false positives among friends?)!

Not just 'car', 'cdr' as well, I'd say.

Yes, I admit, I did : (defsubst org-fix-ellipsis-at-bol () nil)
But I must have done something wrong or misread the results because now
I see some other failures. Moreover, the backtrace that I get from "make
test" seems incomplete and it's not obvious to me where the recenter
call is made.

OTOH I hope that wrapping every call to recenter in a
(when (eq (current-buffer) (window-buffer))
   (recenter ...))
would fix the tests, no ?

Err, what's the rational behind this change?

In the meantime I've a simple fix (quickly tested for `org-agenda' which
was also broken).

This doesn't make much sense: in many case (window-buffer) can be
a buffer completely unrelated to Org.

Hmm, what was the previous behaviour of `recenter'? (i.e. before it
reports an error)

Did it just do nothing?

It is meant to catch cases where recenter acts on the wrong window.
Think of the cases where (recenter) is called from within a timer or a
process filter function.

Okay, so is there another fix than `(when (eq (current-buffer)
(window-buffer)))' or removing the call?

If not, why does it raise an error instead of doing nothing silently?

Thanks for looking into it.

Perhaps this isn't the right place to ask, but I wonder how
(save-excursion (set-window-start (selected-window) (window-start)))
isn't a noop.

Perhaps it is a noop -- The purpose of `org-fix-ellipsis-at-bol'
is to remove the ellipsis overlay that outline-mode may leave
when navigating through folded regions.  At least this was the
purpose of the original version, and using recenter did the
job.  I'll try to reproduce the original bug, see if the new
version of `org-fix-ellipsis-at-bol' does the job and if not,
why.

In `org-fix-ellipsis-at-bol', the change wasn't
: (save-excursion (set-window-start (selected-window) (window-start)))

but
: (save-excursion (set-window-start (selected-window) (point-min)))

which is not a noop.

But it does the wrong thing with isearch.

When isearch is done, that is, when it has found a match and we leave
isearch with RET for example. Then it calls `isearch-done' which runs
`org-fix-ellipsis-at-bol' because it is in `isearch-mode-end-hook' (I
didn't look to find why).

Because of this, if the pattern found isn't at the top of the buffer,
then the point won't be at the pattern, but at the top of the buffer.

Best,

Yes, it was a silly mistake of mine.

The bug `org-fix-ellipsis-at-bol' is supposed to fix is this one:
sometimes when searching for a string and hitting RET, the beginning
of the buffer is hidden and there is a confusing "..." at the top of
the window.  With the previous version (using `recenter'), those
ellipsis were removed by recentering.  My bold and kinda superstitious
hope was that `set-window-start' would have the same effect, but I
need to double-check this.  At least we don't have the warning.
