I got it by pure incident and observation, here is how you can replicate it: 1. emacs -Q 2. Go to *scratch* (but it is happening anywhere) 2. Evaluate (number-to-string nil) and get error, do not press Q in *Backtrace*, switch back to *scratch* 3. Try evaluating any defun with C-M-x it will give error: elisp--eval-defun: Symbol’s function definition is void: nil 4. You can evaluate with C-x C-e on the end of the defun, but not in the middle with C-M-x 5. Go to *Backtrace*, click q or erase *Backtrace*, come back and it works again. But I am sure I never had this problem before. It started recently, maybe months, maybe weeks.
