Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

     https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

using elpa org-mode, with org-plus-contrib, typing a character, or
deleting a character, in an existing column in a table gives the error
: (invalid-function org-table-with-shrunk-field)

to reproduce, first
: (setq debug-on-error t)

then, open a (presumably empty) file, foo.org, say, and type
----
| this | is | a | test |
----
then, at the end of the line, hit <TAB>, and type, e.g., "t" (or
<backspace>) and the error appears.

following a suggestion (a comment by the original poster) on
stackexchange

i deleted org-plus-contrib, restarted emacs, and the problem repeated.
(more precisely, i was originally running the pre-packaged org-mode,
i.e., 9.1.9; when i deleted org-plus-contrib with 9.1.9 org-mode, the
problem went away.  thinking i maybe had version mismatches, i
"upgraded" to org "20191014", using the emacs package manager, and also
reinstalled org-plus-contrib (same "version"), and saw the problem again
(after restarting emacs).  so, i once again deleted org-plus-contrib and
restarted emacs.  but, this time, with "20191014" org-mode, the problem
did *not* go away after deleting org-plus-contrib.)

FWIW, I cannot reproduce it.

Nicholas,

thanks for trying.  i am also unable to reproduce it.  i notice there
appears to be a new org-plus-contrib, and i suppose that might be a
factor.  (or, i messed up somehow.)  presumably, this is a dead bug.

in case it's *not* dead: i notice in my notes i had found this
----
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/46923/orgmode-table-error-shrunk-field
----
that seemed to (10 months ago) describe my issue.

and, the stack trace was:
----
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-function org-table-with-shrunk-field)

cheers, Greg
