Hi,
I've now got 8.3-BETA, as org-version confirms. I uninstalled the
org-mode debian package and the ELPA package I tried, but org-mode was
still installed from the Emacs debian package by the time I used git to
get the 8.3-BETA. Hoping this won't cause any chaos?
Anyway, I found my planner.org file and got an enormous backtrace on
startup. Might be a bit big for a mailing list so here's a paste:
http://pastebin.com/BwMk5epP
Now when I try and edit properties with C-c C-x p , I'm being told that
there's a malformed drawer at such and such a point and given an option
to repair it. I'm saying 'y' to 'repair?'. It seems that the 'repair'
being carried out is to put an empty drawer before the logbook and leave
the original properties drawer after the logbook. Maybe I'm supposed to
have drawers in a certain position?
After repairing, I'm getting the same message I got when finding the
file 'Symbol's function definition is void: org-element-at-point' and it
returns to the place where I said C-c C-x p after making the
modification elsewhere. If I say 'n' to 'repair?', it just goes to the
next apparently malformed drawer.
Hope I've provided the needed information.
Thanks very much,
Ed
