"org-time-stamp" and "org-time-stamp-inactive" no longer work

[York Zhao]

Hi,

I have noticed this problem for awhile and now I think it is worth reporting it
and hopefully get fixed.

Here is what happened when I hit "C-c !" in org buffer:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument window-live-p nil)
  select-window(nil)
  org-eval-in-calendar(nil t)
  byte-code("\306 \210\307\216\310\311\b!\312 \211\x19\x19\313	8)\314\x1a^[\315\v!\203!

....

  org-read-date(nil totime nil nil (20194 25121 578000) nil)
  org-time-stamp(nil inactive)
  org-time-stamp-inactive(nil)
  call-interactively(org-time-stamp-inactive nil nil)

Thanks,

I can't reproduce this.  

What is your version of Emacs and Org-mode?

Thanks,

Emacs v23.3.1 on Windows, Org-mode version 7.7 (release_7.7.625.gf18b1)

Thanks,

York

Does that version exist? I just pulled and I get

Org-mode version 7.7 (release_7.7.624.gda56)

I guess it should be (release_7.7.624.gda56) then because I always have one
commit ahead of the latest which is for my local Makefile configuration. Every
time I pulled, I rebased my commit. Sorry for the confusion.


Thank,

Ah, OK - fwiw, I cannot reproduce the problem. I'd suggest you try without
any of your customizations with a minimal .emacs:

    emacs -q -l minimal.emacs

and see if you still have the problem.

Me neither.

Matt reported a similar problem in

<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/41336/focus=41341>

But it seems the problem just ... fixed itself:

To narrow down the bug it might be helpful to:

 1. Try to reproduce the bug with a minimal setup, just Emacs +
     uncompiled Org mode;

 2. If this is possible, see if it occurrs if the calendar buffer is
    already open (e.g. M-x calendar RET) -- maybe this is some kind of
    a weird race condition (?).

Thanks for the help David and Nick, I would say that my problem looks extremely
similar (if not exactly the same) like Matt had reported.

I will try this at some point.

I'm sure there was no calendar buffer pre-existing. The wield thing is that
whenever this problem happens, the contents of my other buffer would be replaced
with the calendar while the name of the buffer kept unchanged.

Thanks,

York

To keep this list updated, I just upgraded to the latest Emacs from git,
compiled and linked using mingw and this problem no longer exists. Thank you all
for your help and merry Christmas.
