Error when using (moz-controller-global-mode t)

Open map7 opened this issue 11 years ago • 10 comments

I get the following error when using emacs 24.3.1 under Debian 7.6 stable with the global mode set to true.

Error in post-command-hook (moz-controller-global-mode-check-buffers): (error "Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size")

If I enable the moz-controller-mode manually it all works and I can control the browser.

Hello, I get the same error on GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36) on OSX 10.9:

moz-controller-mode: Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size Error in post-command-hook (moz-controller-global-mode-check-buffers): (error "Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size")

And I also am able to use moz-controller-mode manually as expected.

@map7 @willtmonroe Could you please try installing cl-lib-0.4, see https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/1189 ?

@RenWenshan In my case, cl-lib-0.5 was installed in addition to cl-lib 1.0. I removed cl-lib-0.5 but when I restored (moz-controller-global-mode t) to my init.el file, I got an error very much like the one I reported earlier: when starting up Emacs, I can't even escape the mini-buffer. I'm afraid this suggestion did not work for me.

@willtmonroe I'm using an August build from trunk (24.4.50.1). Probably upgrading to Emacs 24.4 could solve the problem.

I'll install Emacs-24.3.1 tomorrow and do some investigation, thanks for reporting.

yes, I can reproduce the problem with Emacs-24.3.1

@willtmonroe could you try uninstalling cl-lib and see what happens?

@RenWenshan I'd be glad to troubleshoot this but, as a relatively novice Emacs user, I'm reluctant to install cl-lib, a built-in package. If you have any other ideas, I'd be open to trying them.

@willtmonroe An "easier" solution would be upgrading to the new released Emacs 24.4, but upgrading might cause other issues.

@RenWenshan I'm running Emacs 24.4 on a couple of machines: one running OSX 10.10 and one running Xubuntu 14.04. Had no trouble with Emacs 24.4 on either of them.

@RenWenshan I just tried with cl-lib 0.5 installed and had the same issue as before (which was using the built in cl-lib 1.0)
