Subject: bug#17491: 24.3.90; overlay error in ediff
Date: Wed, 14 May 2014 03:31:25 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <53731BCD.9070505@comcast.net> (raw)
I'm seeing broken behavior when running ediff-buffers on any buffers
that cause at least one line to be highlighted in each buffer. As a
trivial example I have two files, ~/a which contains the following two
lines:
1
2
and ~/b which contains the following two lines:
3
4
Steps to reproduce:
emacs -Q
C-x C-f ~/a <RET>
C-x C-f ~/b <RET>
M-x ediff-buffers <RET>
a <RET>
b <RET>
n
It displays the both buffers and highlights both lines in each, but when
pressing "n" to jump to next difference it fails to do so and this is
displayed in the minibuffer:
Wrong type argument: listp, [#<overlay from 1 to 4 in a>]
