It seems to work fine when I start emacs, but after a while, it stops working, and won't work from then on until I restart emacs, so it may be some mode or package that I'm using that's triggering this behaviour when it gets loaded or run. I tried "M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET C-x 5 2", but it doesn't give me any information (the debug buffer doesn't show up). Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas on how to debug this since debug-on-error doesn't seem to be working? -- Hubert Chathi - Email/Jabber: hubert@uhoreg.ca - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 4096R/113A1368 (Key available at pool.sks-keyservers.net) Fingerprint: F24C F749 6C73 DDB8 DCB8 72DE B2DE 88D3 113A 1368
