Emacs 24 (from https://launchpad.net/~cassou/+archive/emacs) on Ubuntu 11.10 with auto-complete package http://cx4a.org/software/auto-complete/ installed from git https://github.com/m2ym/auto-complete Crashes seemingly randomly when displaying the auto-complete pop-up window but always at the same location - see attached gdb bt full backtrace. I am not able to reliably reproduce this (as I said above it seems random), but it seems to happen a few times every day and always when showing the pop-up window. The following is my auto-complete config ;; auto-complete mode (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/vendor/auto-complete")) (require 'auto-complete-config) (add-to-list 'ac-dictionary-directories "~/.emacs.d/vendor/auto-complete/dict") (ac-config-default) (setq ac-auto-start 1) ; make autostart after entering a single character (setq ac-auto-show-menu (+ ac-delay 0.1)) ; show menu after 100ms ;; quick help has to be after menu so again set to 100ms more (setq ac-quick-help-delay (+ ac-auto-show-menu 0.1)) In GNU Emacs 24.0.91.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.2.0) of 2011-11-29 on osmium, modified by Debian (emacs-snapshot package, version 1:20111128-1~ppa1~oneiric1) Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.11004000 configured using `configure '--build' 'x86_64-linux-gnu' '--host' 'x86_64-linux-gnu' '--prefix=/usr' '--sharedstatedir=/var/lib' '--libexecdir=/usr/lib' '--localstatedir=/var' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--with-pop=yes' '--enable-locallisppath=/etc/emacs-snapshot:/etc/emacs:/usr/local/share/emacs/24.0.91/site-lisp:/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp:/usr/share/emacs/24.0.91/site-lisp:/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp' '--without-compress-info' '--with-crt-dir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/' '--with-x=yes' '--with-x-toolkit=gtk3' '--with-imagemagick=yes' 'build_alias=x86_64-linux-gnu' 'host_alias=x86_64-linux-gnu' 'CFLAGS=-DDEBIAN -DSITELOAD_PURESIZE_EXTRA=5000 -g -O2' 'LDFLAGS=-g -Wl,--as-needed' 'CPPFLAGS='' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: en_AU.UTF-8 value of $XMODIFIERS: nil locale-coding-system: utf-8-unix default enable-multibyte-characters: t Major mode: Lisp Interaction Minor modes in effect: paredit-mode: t eldoc-mode: t diff-auto-refine-mode: t nxhtml-menu-mode: t nxhtml-tag-do-also: t popcmp-group-alternatives: t popcmp-short-help-beside-alts: t mlinks-active-links: t rngalt-minimal-validation-header: t rngalt-display-validation-header: t flyspell-mode: t yas/global-mode: t yas/minor-mode: t global-auto-complete-mode: t auto-complete-mode: t ido-ubiquitous-mode: t autopair-global-mode: t global-undo-tree-mode: t undo-tree-mode: t which-function-mode: t global-semanticdb-minor-mode: t global-semantic-idle-scheduler-mode: t semantic-mode: t electric-layout-mode: t electric-indent-mode: t delete-selection-mode: t cua-mode: t global-auto-revert-mode: t display-time-mode: t show-paren-mode: t mouse-wheel-mode: t file-name-shadow-mode: t global-font-lock-mode: t font-lock-mode: t auto-composition-mode: t auto-encryption-mode: t auto-compression-mode: t column-number-mode: t line-number-mode: t transient-mark-mode: t Recent input: M-x r e p o r t Recent messages: xhtml-loader.rnc was ok (No changes need to be saved) Loading /home/apm/.emacs.d/vendor/nxhtml/nxhtml/nxhtml-autoload.el (source)... majmodpri-apply-priorities running ...
