gnus with bbdb article display problem

gnus with bbdb article display problem

[Dan Nicolaescu]

Hi,

I don't update emacs that I use for reading mail (with gnus) very
often, I just did that today.

Unfortunately now when pressing RET in the summary buffer instead of
having the article displayed in the lower window, the BBDB buffer is
displayed instead. 

I haven't changed my gnus/bbdb settings in a few years, so this is
due to something that changed in emacs.


Here are my bbdb related settings in .gnus.el:

  (require 'bbdb)
  (bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message)
  (add-hook 'gnus-startup-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus)
  (add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'bbdb-define-all-aliases)
  (setq bbdb-quiet-about-name-mismatches 0)
  (setq bbdb-use-pop-up nil)
  (setq bbdb-pop-up-target-lines 3)
  (setq bbdb-offer-save 1) 
  (setq bbdb-complete-name-allow-cycling t)
  (setq bbdb-dwim-net-address-allow-redundancy t)

This might be something that would hit other people when emacs is released...

I don't use bbdb, so I can't debug this.  Could you try to add a
`debug-on-entry' on whatever bbdb function is popping up the bbdb buffer
(or something), and then we may see what's causing this?

Hi Lars, 

I can reproduce this. And I don't know how to debug this since it's not
an error.

It happens on collection of new emails by bbdb. When RET is hit in
summary buffer, the article is displayed as normal but bbdb buffer
covers summary buffer. If I press SPC it bbdb removes the buffer and
pops up the question "Add address xxx to "yyy"? (y or n)". If I press
"q" bbdb disappears but "-> " in minibuffer stays and some funny stuff
starts happening. Gnus shortcuts are not working properly anymore and
bbdb questions popup till I hit C-g several times.

Any ideas?

I've got this in my bbdb config:

(setq
 bbdb-check-zip-codes-p nil
 bbdb-default-area-code +31
 bbdb-default-country "Netherlands"
 bbdb-offer-save 1                        ;; 1 means save-without-asking

 bbdb-auto-notes-ignore (quote (("Organization" . "^Gatewayed from\\\\|^Source only"))) ;; ignores only single field
 bbdb-auto-notes-ignore-all nil  ;; looks in whole message
 )

GNU Emacs 24.0.94.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) 

Ma Gnus v.04 as from 28th of February and the most recent head, both
have this behavior.

Have you tried upgrading bbdb?

Sorry for late reply. I've only now found time to upgrade to the latest
bbdb 2.36. The problem persisted. Then I removed the following lines
form my config 

(setq 
  bbdb-use-pop-up nil                        ;; allow popups for addresses
  bbdb-electric-p t                        ;; be disposable with SPC
)

and the issue went away. So I consider it solved :)

Thanks.

I updated bbdb to 2.35 and the problem went away...
