Hi all,

I've been having problems with latex font locking the first time the internal font locking buffer is created (this with native latex fontification). It was hard to debug but at a point it became obvious that the culprit was yas minor mode, which I had globally enabled. I don't think this global minor mode should be enabled in hidden buffers and I requested this to be changed [1]. I'll keep you informed of any advance regarding this matter but, anyway, maybe org mode could also add a hook to yas-dont-activate-functions in order to disable activation when the buffer name matches an org mode specific pattern/prefix. Short of every concerned user taking action here, at least one of the interacting parties (org and snippet) would have to compromise: (i) yasnippet by disabling its global minor mode for all hidden buffers and/or those matching an org specific pattern and/or (ii) org by including a yasnippet specific filter. IMO the best solution is what I described above: yasnippet disabling its global minor mode for *all* hidden buffers.

Best regards
