I don't have a recipe for this. Every now again I get the following in
my *Messages* buffer:
redisplay--pre-redisplay-functions: (args-out-of-range 0)
I turned on debug-on-error, and got the following backtrace:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range 0)
get-char-property(0 cursor-sensor-functions)
cursor-sensor--detect(#<window 224 on *Group*>)
run-hook-with-args(cursor-sensor--detect #<window 224 on *Group*>)
redisplay--pre-redisplay-functions(t)
apply(redisplay--pre-redisplay-functions t)
#[128 "\300\301\"\210\300\302\"\207" [apply redisplay--pre-redisplay-functions ignore nil] 4 nil nil](t)
redisplay_internal\ \(C\ function\)()
This happens infrequently, about a couple of times a day. I cannot make
this happen on demand, but I can add debugging code if led in the
correct direction.

Thanks for reporting this. I'll try to help, although Stefan might
have better ideas.
From the backtrace it is obvious that the immediate reason for the
problem is the call to 'get-char-property' with an invalid 1st argument
of zero (it's a buffer position, so should be at least 1).
Looking at 'cursor-sensor--detect', I see this:
(defun cursor-sensor--detect (window)
(unless cursor-sensor-inhibit
(let* ((point (window-point window))
;; It's often desirable to make the cursor-sensor-functions property
;; non-sticky on both ends, but that means get-pos-property might
;; never see it.
(new (or (get-char-property point 'cursor-sensor-functions)
(unless (bobp)
(get-char-property (1- point) 'cursor-sensor-functions))))
So my guess is that the value of 'point' (the variable, not the
function) is 1, i.e. beginning of buffer, and subtracting 1 from it
produces that zero. Then the second call to 'get-char-property' barfs
as expected.
The code tries to protect itself against such a calamity by calling
'bobp', but that function looks at the buffer's value of point, which
might be different from what 'window-point' returns.
So my advice would be to replace the call to 'bobp' with an explicit
test of the value of the local variable 'point', and see if that fixes
the problem.

I've changed the (bobp) to (= point 1). I'll run it for a couple of
weeks and report back.

This change seems to have done the trick. I have not encountered the
error in several days.

Thanks for testing. I pushed the change, and I'm arking this bug as
done.

This change was reverted in 76ef52267cf887e3e1aa6d25b3b16dd0601dd459.
It also doesn't seem correct. cursor-sensor--detect is only used in
pre-redisplay-functions, and the documentation of that variable says:
"Hook run just before redisplay.
It is called in each window that is to be redisplayed. It takes one
argument,
which is the window that will be redisplayed. When run, the
‘current-buffer’
is set to the buffer displayed in that window."
That means that (bobp) is correct and (= point 1) cannot give a different
result, unless narrowing is in effect (then only bobp is correct).
Given that replacing (bobp) with (= point 1) does solve this bug, the
documentation of pre-redisplay-functions must be incorrect, i.e. the
current buffer is not the buffer of the window passed as argument. I think
the only way how this can happen is that a previous entry in
pre-redisplay-functions has changed the current buffer. Probably the
implementation of redisplay--pre-redisplay-functions should be changed from
(with-current-buffer (window-buffer win)
(run-hook-with-args 'pre-redisplay-functions win))
to
(run-hook-wrapped 'pre-redisplay-functions
(lambda (func) (with-current-buffer (window-buffer win)
(funcall func win)
nil))
or so.
So we might try the following: Replace redisplay--pre-redisplay-functions
(and indeed, all hooks that document anything about the current buffer) as
above. Then add (cl-assert (eq (current-buffer) (window-buffer window)) to
cursor-sensor--detect and remove code such as (window-point window),
because that must be equal to (point). WDYT? Or am I misunderstanding
something?

Too bad people revert changes that fixed a bug without making sure
they don't reintroduce the same bug again. Now Emacs 25.1 will be
released with this bug.

Since the problem that caused the patch to be reverted was with
narrowing, why not simply use
(= point (with-current-buffer (window-buffer window) (point-min)))
instead of
(= point 1)
?
Anyway, my role in this bug was just to facilitate the debugging and
push a commit, I didn't really look at the issue deeper than what you
see in the discussion.

This has the same issues as described above. There's more code in
cursor-sensor--detect that assumes (eq (current-buffer) (window-buffer
window)), e.g. the form (get-char-property point 'cursor-sensor-functions).
Therefore (= point (with-current-buffer (window-buffer window)
(point-min))) must be the same as (bobp).
Another mystery is the stack trace entry
"run-hook-with-args(cursor-sensor--detect #<window 224 on *Group*>)". How
can cursor-sensor--detect be the first argument to run-hook-with-args?
Shouldn't it always be pre-redisplay-functions?

Subject: [PATCH] Restore buffer in `pre-redisplay-functions'
Previously, a function in `pre-redisplay-functions' could change the
current buffer, breaking the contract of `pre-redisplay-functions'
that the current buffer is always the buffer displayed in the argument
window.
* lisp/simple.el (redisplay--pre-redisplay-functions): Fix
behavior when a function in `pre-redisplay-functions' changes the
current buffer.
* test/lisp/simple-tests.el
(pre-redisplay-function--current-buffer): Test for fixed behavior.

If we want to dig deeper, I think we should first understand why bop
doesn't work. Is it indeed because the window's buffer is not the
current buffer when the hook is called?

Thanks. But we are going to entertain such changes, I think we really
should be sure the issue with the current buffer is the culprit. See
my other message a few moments ago.

Unfortunately the error doesn't trigger consistently. Maybe we are lucky
and somebody manages to detect such an issue.
I'd also suggest to add
(cl-assert (eq (current-buffer) (window-buffer window)))
to cursor-sensor--detect, because the function relies on this equality.

Michael, could you please look some more into this? I think we need
to understand the reason why bobp doesn't work, although the hook was
supposed to be called with the window's buffer the current buffer.

It is pretty hard to diagnose and investigate this issue, but I think
I've managed to progress a bit.
The problem doesn't seem to be on bobp, and I happen to share Philipp's
opinion that the real issue is the assumption that cursor-sensor--detect
will be at the right buffer when it's not. Here, let me show you.
On my machine, this error always happens when I'm running Gnus in one
buffer (via emacsclient), and while I am visiting a file in another
buffer, and in another window (i.e., another emacsclient). The
backtrace I get is:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range 0)
get-char-property(0 cursor-sensor-functions)
cursor-sensor--detect(#<window 5650 on *Group*>)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
run-hook-with-args(cursor-sensor--detect #<window 5650 on *Group*>)
redisplay--pre-redisplay-functions(t)
apply(redisplay--pre-redisplay-functions t)
[ lots of other functions not interesting for us ]
I took the liberty to mark the interesting part above, which is the
argument to cursor-sensor--detect. As you can notice, it's working on
the *Group* window, from Gnus. Now, the interesting part that I noticed
and was able to verify is that this only happens when (a) I am not
working in that buffer, (b) the point is at (point-min) at that buffer,
but (c) the point is not (point-min) at the buffer I'm currently in. In
this case, Emacs does some wrong calculations with point and ends up
with the value of 0, which makes sense if you consider that
(window-point) of that window is 1, but (bobp) is not t (because, as I
explained, I'm working in another buffer, and the value of point there
is not 1).
With all that said, I came to the conclusion that Phillip's rationale
makes sense and therefore his patch seems to be the best shot we have at
fixing this annoying bug.
Thanks,

Thanks for following up.
Phillip's hypothesis assumes that there's another function in
pre-redisplay-function, which is called before cursor-sensor--detect
and switches to another buffer, leaving us there. Do you indeed have
other functions on that list? If so, what are they?
I'm asking because I'd like to be sure we are on the right track with
the root cause.

You know, that's a good question.
After looking into what I have here, I don't see any other function
being called before pre-redisplay-functions. Everything seems fine and
I see the call to with-current-buffer before calling run-hook-with-args,
which means that, unless there is a bug somewhere, I don't see how the
buffer could have changed.

Sure thing. Well, if you ask me, I'm convinced that what I explained in
my last message is what happens, but I still don't know *why* it
happens. I'll see if I manage to investigate this a bit more.
Thanks,
