bug#10360: 24.0.92; Emacs runtime crashes with org-indent-mode and indirect-buffer

When org-startup-indented is set to true I get a fatal error when using
'org-tree-to-indirect-buffer' on a heading then using org-cycle on the
same heading in the indirect-buffer.

It seems that emacs breaks due to a call to "overlay-put".

This bug exists in org-version 7.7 & 7.8.02 in emacs 24.0.92.1 on
windows.

The following commands should reproduce the error:

  "open an org-mode file with some headlines and text."

  M-x org-indent-mode

  C-c C-x b (org-tree-to-indirect-buffer)

  C-x 0 (delete-window, the one that does not have the indirect buffer)

  tab (org-cycle, inside the indirect buffer)

No, it had nothing to do with overlay-put.  It was an assertion
violation triggered by folding a tree after widening a previously
narrowed buffer.

This is fixed in version 106726 on the trunk.

Thanks.

This is a very old version of Emacs.  Can you try a newer one?

I cannot reproduce the problem, neither in Emacs 24.1, nor in the
upcoming Emacs 26.1.  After this step:

  C-c C-x b (org-tree-to-indirect-buffer)

I get an error message saying that I tried to delete the only window
of a frame.  Which is true: I have only one window on that frame, if I
follow the recipe.  What did I miss?

Hmm... It seems I sent the Mail december 2011. I don't recall the problem any more and as you say - old versions. Push the delete-button on it. I'm sure other defects will be raised if the bug still persists.

Kind regards
Gustav

It looks like it was indeed fixed back then:
