As far as I can tell there isn't an existing bug report for this issue. It is very minor but I have attached a fix. This affects Emacs 26.1-rc1 `term' and `ansi-term'. In char mode term installs functions in both pre- and post-command-hooks. After the process exits both of these hooks produce errors and then are removed by Emacs after printing a message. Both of these hooks are re-installed when entering char mode and removing them if they are not present will do nothing. To produce this change, I took the remove-hook lines used when entering line mode and placed them in `term-handle-exit'. To reproduce the issue in 26.1, M-x term, exit the running process and execute any command (i.e. move point). In *Messages* there should be the following lines: Error in pre-command-hook (term-set-goto-process-mark): (wrong-type-argument processp nil) Error in post-command-hook (term-goto-process-mark-maybe): (wrong-type-argument processp nil) The error seems to come up from `process-mark'. After this change, these errors no longer appear as the hooks are removed. I have attached a patch which applies this change to current master. Thank you, Karl
