Re: Bug: org-capture Does not take user to any new buffer

Took the suggestion to run edebug.
A couple of observations:

1) CAPTURE-journal buffer opens around line 485 but is is killed shortly
after
without the user (me) doing anything (just spacebar to step thru the code)

         (if (and (buffer-base-buffer (current-buffer))
              (string-match "\\`CAPTURE-" (buffer-name)))
         (kill-buffer (current-buffer))) ;killed here

2) Then later
The defen stops around line 491 of org-capture.el
         (error "Capture template `%s': %s"
            (org-capture-get :key)
            (nth 1 error))))

Any insight?

Thanks

Mike
