1. Open Emacs. 2. Put it in fullscreen using your window manager command. 3. C-x C-f ~/test.org RET 4. C-c C-e This triggers an error. This does not happen with M-x toggle-frame-fullscreen RET. The attached patch for Org fixes the issue but I guess there is a more general issue here. Note that the `fullscreen' frame parameter is fullboth both with the WM and the Emacs command, so maybe `window-resize' could check this parameter?
