Hi

I am trying to use epresent for presentation.
Start epresent with M-x epresent-run

I seem to need to press one more q to get out of epresenting and then that
q gets into the file.

Thanks

Sorry for the half-complete line:

Was meaning to write a scenario but then decided that the one line was
enough :-)

Did not include usual version stuff (I assumed that I am doing something
wrong)
so here it is

Org-mode version 8.2 (release_8.2-34-g33aded
Emacs 23.4.1
epresent downloaded yesterday

I can't reproduce this problem with a recent version of epresent and
Org-mode.  For example with the following minimal Emacs invocation
(without any configuration, run from the epresent directory).

    emacs -Q --eval "(progn (add-to-list 'load-path \"~/src/org-mode/lisp\") (require 'org))" -l epresent.el present.org

This is using epresent from https://github.com/eschulte/epresent.

Best,

I tried this (with my-path adjustments); and a just-downloaded epresent
from above link; still the same behavior

In more detail:

0. Run command

emacs -Q --eval "(progn (add-to-list 'load-path \"~/pdsw/org-mode/lisp\")
(require 'org))" -l ~/.emacs.d/downloads/epresent.el  lastLect.org
and then in emacs:

1. Start with epresent-run
The buffer changes form half-way -- ie
a. it becomes full-screen,
b the menu line vanishes but
c. the mode line is present
d. the fonts are still small

2. After than whatever key I press (including q) it becomes like a
presentation -- ie no mode-line and large fonts

3. One more q and it quits with the q appearing where point was last

Also just checked with this trivial 4-line file in case there was something
in my org file.  Still the same
--------------
* H1
** H11
** H12
* H2
-----------

I just wonder if its to do with
1. emacs version 23.4.1
2. I am using xfce not the more common gnome/kde etc
Thinking of the second because there is a kind of lag in the full-screening
of the window -- something which seems related to the window manager??

Maybe the problem here could be the Emacs version, I'm using Emacs
24.3.1.  A long while ago I remember having to hit "t" after launching a
presentation to get the large fonts which sounds very similar to the
issue you describe above.  I don't suppose it's possible for you to
switch to Emacs 24?

I'm using Xmonad which is probably less common even than xfce.  I guess
this difference could also be the cause of the weird behavior.

Sorry I don't have the motivation to test under other window managers.
Hopefully an Emacs upgrade will help or there is some other workaround
(e.g., pressing "t" after calling epresent-run).

Best,
