Severity: minor

0. emacs -Q
1. M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET
2. Evaluate the following:

  (require 'org)
  (org-string-display
   (propertize " " 'display '(image :type svg
                                    :file "/path/to/image.svg")))

This gives the following error backtrace:

I realise that org-string-display is a relatively obscure function that
was probably not designed with image or other complex display properties
in mind, but AFAICT the following is a pretty obvious "fix", given that
the surrounding code expects 'value' to be a string or nil, but never t:

With this change, the return value of org-string-display does not really
make sense for images, but at least the function doesn't barf on complex
but valid display properties.  WDYT?

Thanks,

`org-string-display' doesn't exist anymore in master (Org 9.2). However,
there is the same error with `org-string-width'. 

What is `org-string-width' supposed to do on your example? Probably
return an error.

If `org-string-width' returns nil, it will ensue an error somewhere
further in the code. So returning an error right here is better (or
find a way to compute the width of an image in columns).

As another data point, `string-width' returns 1 on your example, which
is probably wrong.

WDYT?

I realise that the 'display' property is a pretty complicated beast, so
it may be impractical for 'org-string-width' to do this, but I think
more accurate/useful behaviour would be to calculate the displayed width
of the image via 'image-size' or 'image-display-size', rather than
signalling an error.

Why/when would 'org-string-width' return nil?  My suggestion was to
replace 'cl-some' with 'cl-find-if', because the value of
(cl-some #'stringp ...) is a boolean, not a sequence.

To clarify - I am not suggesting that 'org-string-width' should never
signal an error; I am only suggesting that the current
(wrong-type-argument sequencep t) error is due to inappropriate use of
'cl-some'.  My comments may already be outdated, though, since they
refer to the version of org-macs.el shipping with latest Emacs master.

Neither 'string-width' nor 'current-column' take 'display' properties
into account; see e.g. https://emacs.stackexchange.com/q/44495/15748.
But that's an Emacs feature request of its own.

Thanks,

Fixed. `org-string-width' has now a limited support for images.

Thank you.
