[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
--text follows this line-- You can recreate most of the problem starting with -Q however you must have a previously populated recentf file before starting. M-x recentf-mode M-x recentf-open-files Now switch to the *Messagers* buffer and notice something similar to: Loading /home/rick/.emacs.d/recentf...done Cleaning up the recentf list...done (0 removed) Mark set Open /snap/emacs/2827/usr/share/emacs/31.0.50/lisp/files.el.gz Observe that it claims to have opened the most recent item on recentf-list, as loaded from the pre-populated recentf file. In my case .../files.el.gz. There doesn't seem to be a buffer actually associated with the file but it's unclear whether it was subsequently closed or a spurious message. Personally, because my .emacs contains the following and I run in server mode I get additional messages that may be helpful. |... '(recentf-auto-cleanup 'never) '(recentf-max-menu-items 40) '(recentf-max-saved-items 200) '(recentf-menu-filter 'recentf-arrange-by-mode) '(recentf-menu-open-all-flag t) '(recentf-mode t) '(recentf-show-file-shortcuts-flag nil) | ... |(setq initial-buffer-choice 'recentf-open-files)| With the above (some of which could be irrelevant but I didn't narrow down) I get the following. Notice that it reports opening the file 3 times. It also contains "Collapse node" messages which I see no reference to in either recentf.el or wid-edit.el (its only dependency?). So I can't tell what is emitting them but it's clearly related and may tell you more than it does me:-) |Starting Emacs daemon. Collapse node Open ~/snap/emacs/site-lisp/anchored-transpose.el Collapse node Open ~/snap/emacs/site-lisp/anchored-transpose.el [2 times] When done with this frame, type C-x 5 0 Mark set Collapse node| I tried (debug-on-entry recentf-open-files) and the messages get created if I simply type 'c' at the debug prompt. But when I try stepping thru the code I get to the end and I'm presented with a proper menu buffer without ever encountering any code that might have emitted the messages - AND the messages DO NOT appear. This left me out of my depth. Otherwise I'd have tried to debug and at least report which functions were involved if not a solution proposal.
