Basically you see this error message firing repeatedly: redisplay--update-region-highlights: (error "Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size") [7 times] Turning on debugging doesn't reveal any more info. Evaluating the following: (setq pre-redisplay-function nil) fixes the problem. Q: What is the purpose of that setting, and is there a better fix?
