Bug: org-columns-compile-format [8.2.10 (release_8.2.10-1-g8b63dc @ /home/boudiccas/git/org-mode/lisp/)]

[Sharon Kimble]

For the last couple of days I have been unable to send any emails through
gnus, or any followups to a newsgroup, because the buffer which should contain
the headers of the message and my signature have been completely blank and
empty, with just "Wrong type argument: stringp, 1" showing in the mini-buffer.
On several of my org-mode files, when opening them I get this error message
showing in the mini-buffer - "org-columns-compile-format: Wrong type argument:
stringp, 1".

I'm including a back-trace that I got yesterday -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp 1)
  string-match("%\\([0-9]+\\)?\\([[:alnum:]_-]+\\)\\(?:(\\([^)]+\\))\\)?\\(?:{\\([^}]+\\)}\\)?\\s-*" 1 0)

Hi Sharon,

2014ko urriak 27an, Sharon Kimble-ek idatzi zuen:

[...]

The above (org-columns 1) form is your problem.  Have you added this to
org-mode-hook your emacs/org configuration files somewhere?  If so, you
should take it out.  Org-columns is not a minor mode, and the argument
to that function should not be a number.

Aaron.

Thanks for this, that was the problem entirely and solves it. Everything
is now working back as normal, and I'm now able to use gnus properly.
Thank you very much :)

Sharon.
