It seems like after the last update I've made to org-mode the capturing of notes does not work properly. Currently I have version 8.0.7 (20130930) from the ELPA. Hitting `C-c c` (i.e. org-capture) brings the list of capture templates and then I can choose one of them to open a buffer where I can actually entry the note. The problem is that once I'm done, hitting `C-c C-c` doesn't close the capturing buffer. The content is saved in the right place but I'm not returned to the place where I started the capturing. In the *Messages* buffer I get the following error: "org-capture-finalize: Symbol's value as variable is void: org-bookmark-names-plist" I don't really know where to start debugging this problem. Any ideas? I believe the following are all the related setting that I have: ;; Capture-org (setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory "/notes.org")) (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture) (setq org-capture-templates (quote (("t" "todo" entry (file (concat org-directory "/gtd.org")) "* TODO %?\n%U\n%a\n" :clock-in t :clock-resume t) ("n" "note" entry (file (concat org-directory "/gtd.org")) "* %? :NOTE:\n%U\n%a\n" :clock-in t :clock-resume t) ("j" "Journal" entry (file+datetree (concat org-directory "/diary.org")) "* %?\n%U\n" :clock-in t :clock-resume t) ("v" "Vocabulary" entry (file+headline (concat org-directory "/vocab.org") "Vocabulary") "* %^{The word} :drill:\n:PROPERTIES:\n:Part-of-speech: %^{Part of speech|verb|noun|adj|adv}\n:END:\n %t\n %^{Extended word (may be empty)} \n** Answer \n%^{The definition}") )))
