Re: Company not working in emacs-lisp-mode

[Grant Rettke <gcr@wisdomandwonder.com>]

My Emacs has a lot of random behavior like that happen when I've got
desktop-mode open and make changes. desktop-mode caches all of the
hook code and reloads it from the cache instead of the init file. Not
saying you are facing this, but perhaps something similar.
