Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

     https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

When any of the agenda files get updated outside of this instance of
Emacs (e.g. another editor or in my case Emacs on another machine via a
synced iCloud Drive folder), questionmarks are displayed instead of a
file name. That does not always happen, but when it happens, the only
way to get rid of the questionmarks is to go to the offending file buffer
and
run org-element-cache-reset on that buffer. Just rebuilding the agenda
doesn't help, and even restarting Emacs doesn't help.

After the cache is reset, everything works as expected.

Org is built from main/master branch. It shows 9.5.2 but I see 9.6-dev
in the source files headers. This is Emacs 27.2 (Yamamoto Mituharu
port), but this also happens on 28.0.90 built from the source on my
other Mac. I tried with both Doom and (in this case) vanilla Emacs with
hand-picked packages loaded.

Emacs  : GNU Emacs 27.2 (build 1, aarch64-apple-darwin21.2.0, Carbon
Version 165 AppKit 2113.2)
of 2021-12-27
Package: Org mode version 9.5.2 (9.5.2-g3154c2 @

Thanks for the report!

Can you try the following:
1. (setq org-element--cache-self-verify 'backtrace) in your init.el
   before loading org
2. Do whatever it takes to get question marks as category in agenda
3. Go to the problematic Org buffer and run
   M-: (org-element--cache-warn "Backtrace") <RET>
4. Send the contents of the warning message here.

Best,
Ihor

This is a big strange.
Can you try to repeat the same steps, but removing the contents of
org-persist-directory before opening Emacs?

Best,
Ihor

So, I've removed this directory on both computers - haven't been able
to reproduce this bug so far... However even before I've done this it
was intermittent with no clear pattern, so I'll keep monitoring, but
let's hope it was some kind of cache issue after Org upgrade from 9.3
to the current version...

Well, that happened again. See the backtrace below.
What I did:

1. Removed org-persist-directory folder yesterday
2. Did a quick capture of task (with some embedded checklist) on my
main computer today
3. Went to another computer and refreshed Agenda there, got
questionmarks (org directory is synced between both via iCloud)
4. Went to the problematic buffer and ran backtrace command there,
saved the output

If I delete org-persist-directory again, the questionmarks disappear
(obviously).

Something is strange about your backtrace. If auto-revert updates
changed buffer, the change should be logged like

  ...
  org-element-cache diagnostics(inbox.org): Phase 0
  org-element-cache diagnostics(inbox.org): org-element-cache: Processing request ...
  org-element-cache diagnostics(inbox.org): Syncing down to nil-nil
  org-element-cache diagnostics(inbox.org): nil is about to modify text...

I do not see it in your backtrace, which implies that the buffer was not
reverted or that you ran backtrace multiple times.

Can you try again next time you see the questionmarks and also provide
the output of M-: (pp org-element--cache) executed in the problematic
buffer?

Also, I have made changes in saving cache between Emacs sessions. An
Org mode update might help if you are lucky.

Best,
Ihor

I recently managed to find a reproducer when question marks wrongly
appear in category. Just pushed the fix to main (c5a0113367). Can you
try again and let me know if it is fixes your problem?

Hi Ihor,

It took a bit longer than usual to reproduce, but the questionmarks
appeared again.
Org was updated to the latest version on both machines.

I'll delete the caches and see if I can reproduce again.

Thanks,
Eugene.
