`company-box-frontend` error.

[joostkremers]

Hi, after a recent update of company, I now get the following error when company-box should kick in:

Company: An error occurred in auto-begin
Company: frontend company-box-frontend error "Wrong type argument: listp, company-tooltip" on command show

Any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks. That should be easy enough to fix in company-box--end-of-common.

The face property isn't always a list now: add-face-text-property also adds singleton values, not creating lists unnecessarily.

BTW, I got such an error Company: frontend company-box-frontend error "Invalid alignment size -14, aborting" on command show, what could be the possible cause of this issue?

@dgutov Thanks, that helped me create a patch. Not sure if it's the best way to solve it, but at least company-box is working again. Hopefully, @sebastiencs will find some time to merge the patch or come up with a better one.
