The undo info was discarded because it exceeded `undo-outer-limit'. This is normal if you executed a command that made a huge change to the buffer. In that case, to prevent similar problems in the future, set `undo-outer-limit' to a value that is large enough to cover the maximum size of normal changes you expect a single command to make, but not so large that it might exceed the maximum memory allotted to Emacs. If you did not execute any such command, the situation is probably due to a bug and you should report it. You can disable the popping up of this buffer by adding the entry (undo discard-info) to the user option `warning-suppress-types', which is defined in the `warnings' library. ---- I would like to figure out which, if any, of the Emacs programs I am using is responsible for this, then report this as a bug, so I would like to ask for some help with that --- is there a way I can monitor the buffer to see what changes it? buffer-undo-list in *Buffer List* looks like: ((nil tabulated-list-entry nil 3552 . 3553) (nil tabulated-list-entry nil 3547 . 3552) (nil tabulated-list-entry nil 3546 . 3547) (nil tabulated-list-entry nil 3535 . 3546) (nil tabulated-list-entry nil 3534 . 3535) (nil tabulated-list-entry nil 3533 . 3534) (nil tabulated-list-entry nil 3527 . 3533) (nil tabulated-list-entry nil 3519 . 3527) ...) emacs-version: "24.3.1" Best, Tamas
