[...] Ihor> Could you detail steps how to reproduce this? I cannot, on my side. See Ihor> https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html When I was trying to reproduce this behaviour. I realize I have an snippet that just loads when I start emacs as server-process. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (eval-after-load "ol-bbdb" ;;; it's part of org '(progn (add-to-list 'org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist '("custom" . (lambda (name years suffix) (concat "[[bbdb:" name "][" name "'s " (format "%s" years) suffix " custom anniversary]]")))))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- So. That was the reason I saw a different behaviour when launching emacs as nw and when launching emacs-as-process. Conclusion. Sorry for the noise. We just need to focus on 'satisfactory performance'.
