For several months now I have been getting the error "File mode
specification error: (error Before first heading)" when I open some of
my Org files. [After the error message, the file opens just fine and Org
works normally.]
What distinguishes the Org files that do not suffer from this problem
from those that do is that they have a headline in the first line of
the file.
A fairly minimal recipe:
1. $ cat > ~/temp-org-test.org
An introduction.
* A Headline
Some text.
** Sub-Topic 1
** Sub-Topic 2
*** Additional entry
^D
2. $ emacs &
3. Visit ~/temp-org-test.org
At this point the error message "File mode specification error: (error
Before first heading)" is displayed.
Note: This test file is from
http://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html.
Setting debug-on-error, I get the following backtrace:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Before first heading")
signal(error ("Before first heading"))
error("Before first heading")
outline-back-to-heading()
outline-flag-subtree(t)

find-file-noselect("/home/nlj/temp-org-test.org" nil nil nil)
find-file("/home/nlj/temp-org-test.org")
On the other hand, if I edit the test file and add a headline on the
first line of the file, for example
* COMMENT This is dummy headline
then the error does not occur. Of course, this seems a rather ugly
work-around.

I'm not able to reproduce this with your test file. Do you see the
error if you load Org with no other packages and no configuration?
Based on your configuration dump, it seems like you're using outshine,
in which case this may have already been reported [1]. That issue seems
to be fixed in the latest version of outshine.

Thanks Kyle.

You are right. I had installed navi-mode (and its dependencies outshine
and outorg) a few months ago to try it out. I have removed them and the
problem is fixed. [FWIW, I had version 2.0 of all three files.]
Thank you, and sorry for the noise.
[I never found the time to actually try navi-mode; perhaps I'll have
some spare time in the future when I can re-install it and give it a
test drive.]
