Create a shell buffer, M-x shell. Try to do list-buffers (C-x C-b): Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Attempt to modify read-only object") format-mode-line((#(":%s" 0 3 (auto-composed t))) nil nil #) list-buffers-noselect(nil) list-buffers(nil) call-interactively(list-buffers nil nil) I always thought that mode-line-process had to be a string, but it looks like it can be a list with a string element, but evidently not a propertized one. The same error occurs when the compilation buffer is running. I don't know what auto-composed means. It doesn't appear to be described in the manual. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
