Ah, what I mean is, when I start emacsclient, i.e., when I open a file. If I could figure out how to reproduce this consistently, I could check if it happens with regular emacs or not. > >> the first character I type is not inserted, but rather, >> causes the screen to flash.... >> it happens almost every time I edit a commit message after making a >> commit in a git repository (but not every time). > > This probably won't help, but have you checked that Emacs is not expectin= g you > to answer something like `y-or-n-p'?

I usually only notice this because I start typing and the first character is not entered (hence why this is so annoying). But I don't think there's anything like that, or at least not visible. I've noticed that emacsclient doesn't always show everything (for example, if there's a problem in my init file, regular emacs will tell me about the problem, but emacsclient, even with the first start of the daemon, will not).
