Subject: bug#72487: calculator-electric-mode causes freeze on subsequent use of minibuffer
Date: Mon, 05 Aug 2024 22:41:57 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1ee056b3-dde2-4535-92ce-387e1850a99a@protonmail.ch> (raw)
When using the calculator function of GNU Emacs 31.0.50 (bug also found
in 29.4), usage of `calculator-electric-mode' causes Emacs to hang on
subsequent uses of the minibuffer.
Emacs -Q
M-: (setf calculator-electric-mode t) <RET>
M-x calcu <RET> q M-x M-p <RET>
Note that the freeze does not depend on specifically calling calculator
a second time, and calculator may be repeated with C-x z without issue.
The freeze occurs specifically when the minibuffer exits a second time,
even via C-g, before its contents are processed. Thus, for example, the
following still yields a freeze:
Emacs -Q
M-: (setf calculator-electric-mode t) <RET>
M-x d-o-e <RET> kill-emacs <RET>
M-x calcu <RET> q M-x kill-emacs <RET>
Apparently, calculator-electric-mode leaves the minibuffer window in a
broken state after first usage, rather than resetting it correctly.
Emacs must be killed externally at this point, and generally cannot be
salvaged with C-g. It becomes trapped in a loop emitting terminal bells
(seen with `visible-bell' mode on, or via a termscript from `-nw').
