Hi all

i was wondering if anyone else have had these problems (using latest emacs
and org-mode from git): whenever i start working with tables and start
editing a cell emacs starts freezing, all emacscleint instances are frozen
and i have to kill emacs to get things back to work

anyone else encountered this? is there a way i can try to debug this (im
not technically savvy at all)

thx alot

Yes, I experience it as well.  I have not found a clear receipt to
reproduce yet (in particular not in with emacs -q), though, but in my
case key components are: emacsclient, tables and TAB to realign.

Sorry, this is not too helpful.

I recently encountered an (infloop) bug in org-element, and the tip to
get a useful backtrace from the apparently frozen emacs is:

[0. when on GNU/Linux, call 'top' to see if emacs uses 100pc CPU]
1. emacs -Q
2. M-x load-library org-element.el
3. do what you do to make emacs freeze
4. call on the cmd-line

,----
| kill -s usr2 4352
`----
(get the PID with 'ps -e | grep emacs')

or, equivalently (?)

,----
| pkill --signal usr2 emacs
`----

5. study/copy/paste/send *Backtrace* buffer from (not frozen anymore)
Emacs

Do you have any update on this? Do you still encounter the bug?

I haven't experienced it recently, but also haven't been working much
with tables, I guess. . .

It happened to me now when I was editing a table and clicked TAB.

Debugger entered--beginning evaluation of function call form:
* (byte-code "\301\302\303!\207" [quit-flag t eval (ignore nil)] 2)
  flyspell-post-command-hook()
  recursive-edit()
  debug(error (quit))

flyspell-post-command-hook

This function is advised by

     :around advice: `ad-Advice-flyspell-post-command-hook'

From ac.  I have not removed this since I don't use ac anymore.  Maybe
this will solve the issue.

Unfortunately there is not much information to chew on, so I cannot
tell.

I'm still unable to make an example that will break down Emacs.

However, working with {entities, tables and flyspell} does give a
slowdown even in emacs -q, though not to the extend that Emacs becomes
unusable.
