See (info "(org) Feedback") on how to enable it and produce a useful backtrace. You read it from bottom to top: the bottom-most function has called the next-to-bottom-most function, ..., which has called the top-most function, which is in the middle of evaluating some expression when the error occurred. The section on Debugging in the Emacs Lisp manual contains more information. Re: "master" and "maint" - I didn't know which version of org you were using, so I tried it with both the master branch and the maint branch of the git tree, as they were yesterday. I should probably have provided more explicit versions but it was late and I was tired. For the record, at the time that I was doing that: "master" was Org-mode version 8.3.1 (release_8.3.1-234-g8c85c9 @ /home/nick/elisp/org-mode/lisp/) "maint" was Org-mode version 8.3.1 (release_8.3.1-120-gbc322f @ /home/nick/elisp/org-mode/lisp/) HTH -- Nick
