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

When on-disk file has changed, I use the following function to re-read
buffer:

(defun refresh-file ()
  (interactive)
  (revert-buffer t (not (buffer-modified-p)) t)
  )

(global-set-key [f5] 'refresh-file)

I have seen (again this morning) I wind up with a corrupted buffer.  It
appears a segment of the data is correct, but data has been reordered.
I'm looking at a python source file.  For example, in the middle of the
buffer, it
looks like the beginning of the file is inserted (sorry I no longer have
this buffer and can't be precise).

Kill buffer, and reload file, and it's fixed.

Next time it happens, could you save the corrupted buffer to some temp
file, and then compare that with the actual file's content, to get
a more precise description of the corruption?

You say it's a Python file.  What modes/packages do you use to edit
those files?  What does `M-: after-change-functions' and `M-:
before-change-functions' say in those buffers?

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

before-change-functions is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is (t syntax-ppss-flush-cache)
Local in buffer test_unframed.py; global value is nil

after-change-functions is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is (jit-lock-after-change jedi:after-change-handler t)
Local in buffer test_unframed.py; global value is nil

I have captured a corrupt buffer.  This time, emacs said 'file has changed,
reload?'.  Again it is corrupted.
The 1st diff is that in the corrupted file, the beginning of the file is
inserted into the middle of the buffer

Hmm... could it be that jedi:after-change-handler does something funny?
Tho it seems rather unlikely: when it gets run, the revert has
already happened!

> I have captured a corrupt buffer.  This time, emacs said 'file has changed,
> reload?'.  Again it is corrupted.

Normally revert compares the buffer's content and the file's content
(from both ends) to find the common "prefix" and "suffix" and only
performs the update on the characters in-between.  IOW the beginning of
the buffer/file is not touched and the end is not touched either.

So rather than "the beginning of the file is inserted into the middle of
the buffer" it sounds like the "characters in-between" end up being
inserted at the beginning of the buffer.

Was the region active when the revert happened?

Is the total size of the corrupted file correct? (i.e. the update was
just not inserted at the right place)

What can you say about the "splice points" (i.e. those positions in the
file where the corruption happens: IIUC there's one at the very
beginning, but where are the others (e.g. where is the "real
beginning", in the corrupted file))?

How frequently does it happen?  (i.e. would you be able to notice if it
doesn't happen any more, after we disable some feature)

There are exactly the same length

In 2 tests it happened 2 times.  So probably is reproducible.

Here is a reproducible recipe.

https://gist.github.com/stakemori/ccf0e4cfae2fcfafbf0a

I thought this is a bug of emacs-jedi (
https://github.com/tkf/emacs-jedi/issues/234).
But I can reproduce it with "emacs -Q". (I use Emacs 24.5).

If I replace (buffer-string) in the body of my/add-to-after-change-functions
by (buffer-substring-no-properties (point-min) (point-max)),
then the same error occurs.

I think this has nothing to do with python-mode. It also occurs in
text-mode.

Sincerely,
Sho Takemori

FWIW, I don't see any corruption when I load this file.

I use Ubuntu 15.04.
I can reproduce this both in Emacs 24.4
which is installed by "apt-get install emacs24"
and in Emacs 24.5 which I built from the source.

The corrupted buffer looks like this.

Is this a real buffer corruption, or just the display corruption?  If
you minimize the frame and then restore it, or switch to another
buffer in the same window and then back again, do you still see the
corrupted display?

Also, how do you invoke Emacs to reproduce the problem?

Finally, does the problem go away if you set your locale to something
else, like en_US.UTF-8?

It is a real buffer corruption. I made the second gist by C-x h, M-w and
pasting it to the browser.
If I change the size of the frame or the window configuration, I still have
a corrupted buffer.

> Also, how do you invoke Emacs to reproduce the problem?

By evaluating the code in the first gist.

I use emacs-jedi (https://github.com/tkf/emacs-jedi). So does the original
reporter.
Since the problem occurs frequently, I can find strings file-content1 and
file-content2 in the first gist.
As for the function my/add-to-after-change-functions, I looked into the
source of emacs-jedi and wrote a similar code.

> Finally, does the problem go away if you set your locale to something

No. I can also reproduce it in the live session of Xubuntu 14.04, where
LANG=en_US.UTF-8.
Here is the output of M-x report-emacs-bug in Emacs 24.3 in the live
session.

OK, I've managed to reproduce this in Emacs 24.5 on GNU/Linux.  But
the problem doesn't exist with the current development sources on the
same system, so I guess whatever caused this has been already fixed
since 24.5 was released.

I think we can close this bug.

Thanks.
