Hi Nicolas,

Here it is. If you =detangle= the =broken-detangle--working.el= file, it will work as expected.

However, if you try to detangle the =broken-detangle--NOT-working.el= file, you should get a "Not in a source block" error in *message*.

Another thing I noted while creating the ECM is if there is only *one* code block in the =.org= file, then it throws a =End of Buffer= error.

Could you provide an ECM demonstrating the issue?

Thank you.
