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

This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list
and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org.  Please check that
the From: line contains a valid email address.  After a delay of up
to one day, you should receive an acknowledgement at that address.

Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators for other languages.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':




I've discovered a problem with org-mode on the trunk version of emacs;
typing ctrl-c ctrl-c to add a tag results in "Wrong type argument:
listp, t".

Here are steps to reproduce:

(1) Place the following in a file named "foo.org" (not including the
lines of "=" signs.)

==================================================================
# -*- mode: org; -*-

#+STARTUP: logdone
#+TAGS: bb(b) dw(d) holiday(a) meeting(m) note(n) q(q) releng(r) sysadmin(s) eng(e) other(o)

* Top level
** second level 1
*** third level 1                                                         :b:
    CLOCK: [2011-07-10 Sun 12:44]--[2011-07-10 Sun 12:44] =>  0:00

** second level 2
*** third level 2                                                         :b:
    CLOCK: [2011-07-10 Sun 12:46]

material for third level
==================================================================

(2) Open foo.org with emacs:

    emacs -Q foo.org

(3) place point in the first column of "third level 2" (line 12).

(3) Attempt to add the "meeting" tag to line 12 by typing "C-c C-c m
RET".

Expected behavior: after typing C-c C-c, org mode should present a
list of pre-defined tags.  Emacs 23.3 exhibits this behavior.

Observed behavior: typing C-c C-c produces the following message in the
minibuffer: Wrong type argument: listp, t

Thanks for the fine report.  Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this since
the text following "Top level" is hidden here.  foo.org appears as


# -*- mode: org; -*-

#+STARTUP: logdone
#+TAGS: bb(b) dw(d) holiday(a) meeting(m) note(n) q(q) releng(r) sysadmin(s) eng(e) other(o)

* Top level


If I manually insert its text into a new buffer foo.org. the buffer after
step (3) looks like


# -*- mode: org; -*-

#+STARTUP: logdone
#+TAGS: bb(b) dw(d) holiday(a) meeting(m) note(n) q(q) releng(r) sysadmin(s) eng(e) other(o)

* Top level
** second level 1
*** third level	1 							  :b:
    CLOCK: [2011-07-10 Sun 12:44]--[2011-07-10 Sun 12:44] =>  0:00

** second level 2
*** third level 2						  :meeting:b:
    CLOCK: [2011-07-10 Sun 12:46]

material for third level


which is probably the expected behavior.  What shall I do?

Chong has fixed some silliness in that code, so maybe this has been
fixed already.  Please upgrade.

If the error persists, could you try to edebug `display-buffer' before
org calls it and tell me the value of "normalized" calculated in these
lines:

	 (normalized
	  ;; Normalize specifiers.
	  (display-buffer-normalize-specifiers buffer-name specifiers label))

Thanks, martin

Nothing.  I cannot reproduce this error, and this is surely 
an old error -- will be fixed when I commit Org 7.6 or 7.6.1
to Emacs trunk.

Thanks for looking into this,

Martin and Bastien,

Thank you for following up on my bug report.

I did a bzr pull and rebuilt emacs.  The behavior I described earlier
no longer occurs.

Sorry for the trouble.

Steve
