By the way, thanks for taking the time to try it out and think of all
possible issues.l

and abc-mode. 4clojure (and many other packages) is listed as "incompat".

I don't get that bevahiour from emacs -Q, but there was a problem with the
incompatible table a few days ago. Maybe your elc file is outdated?

Just like any other keybind. That's more of a general issue with the
package menu or Emacs itself. We can add "g-redisplay" to the quick-help
menu under `h' (which, btw, could use some improving.

Ah, I see. Then we're fine. All information needed for a transaction is
gathered the moment you hit `x' (before you even answer `y'). Whatever
happens to the buffer after that is irrelevant.

Yes, but you're wasting a few seconds of effort on a situation that will
happen very rarely. If that were a frequent occasion it might even be
infuriating, but how often do compatible packages become incompatible?
