This (/ 1 0) triggers the error (arith-error) for me but the second time I do it it just says "Arithmetic error" in the minibuffer. And the third time etc ... So the debugger is only triggered once per error type? Is this why I never see the debugger half-window despite not doing anything to not see it? I just have Emacs on and before long there aren't any errors I haven't seen already? Also, putting beginning-of-buffer in `debug-ignored-errors' still echoes "Beginning of buffer" in the minibuffer when that happens. So what does it really achieve: you don't get the debugger window _the first time either_, but you still get the message every time like always? Because perhaps that message is not part of the actual error? Which, if so, is wierd, because from the name of the error, and spelling of the message, it sure sounds like they are a pretty close match! -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
