[BUG] Warning (org-element-cache): Org parser error (error "Invalid search bound (wrong side of point)")

[BUG] Warning (org-element-cache): Org parser error (error "Invalid search bound (wrong side of point)")

[Bhavin Gandhi]

Hello,

I see this error now and then (mostly once or twice a day) while using
Org Agenda. I think this happens either while saving the file, or
clocking out, or some combination of these two. I haven't spent time on
figuring out the exact sequence of actions.

⛔ Warning (org-element-cache): org-element--cache: Warning(file.org):
Org parser error in file.org::#<marker at 1029755 in file.org>.
Resetting.
 The error was: (error "Invalid search bound (wrong side of point)")

Not sure if this is relevant, but running org-lint on this file (~18500
number of lines) results in following warnings:

43   low Unknown source block language: 'bash' (and few more similar ones)
660  nil Missing language in source block
2649 low Possible incomplete drawer ":END:" (at this point I have an
extra END after LOGBOOK's END, can this be the problem?)
7156 low Link escaped with obsolete percent-encoding syntax

I don't have any other tools which might modify Org mode files.

Org mode version 9.7-pre (release_N/A-N/A-6e6354 @
/home/bhavin/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.7pre0.20230508.112315/)
GNU Emacs 29.0.90 (build 1, x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
3.24.37, cairo version 1.17.8) of 2023-05-034

I'm sending the full backtrace to you Ihor via personal email.

Thanks for the report!
May you increase your org-element--cache-diagnostics-ring-size 10x and
try to record the backtrace again?
I can see that org-data boundaries are incorrect (not at point-max), but
cannot track down when exactly the boundaries are not updated properly.

So, I got the error again today. First I got following warning followed by
the original warning:

Received this when I added a new list item under one heading, the
heading mentioned in the warning is not the one where I added a new list
item.

⛔ Warning (org-element-cache): org-element--cache: Warning(file2.org):
Added org-data parent to non-headline element: (section (:begin 15073
:end 16104 :contents-begin 15073 :contents-end 16104 :robust-begin
15073 :robust-end 16102 :post-blank 0 :post-affiliated 15073 :mode
section :granularity element :cached t :parent (headline (:raw-value
"Project questions" :begin 15030 :end 16104 :pre-blank 0
:contents-begin 15073 :contents-end 16104 :robust-begin 15131
:robust-end 16102 :true-level 1 :level 1 :priority nil :tags nil
:todo-keyword "WAITING" :todo-type todo :post-blank 0

(org-data (:begin 1 :contents-begin 1 :contents-end 1407670 :end
1407670 :robust-begin 3 :robust-end 1407668 :post-blank 0
:post-affiliated 1 :path "/home/bhavin/work/orgfiles/file2.org" :mode
org-data :CATEGORY "file2" :cached t)) :org-element--cache-sync-key
(11 . 15010))) :org-element--cache-sync-key (11 . 15052)))

Will see if I can share the whole backtrace.

And then while doing something in Agenda (I think that was clock out or
save), I got:

⛔ Warning (org-element-cache): org-element--cache: Warning(file2.org):
Org parser error in file2.org::#<marker at 1407865 in file2.org>.
Resetting.
 The error was: (error "Invalid search bound (wrong side of point)")

I think this has something to do with headings which have many list
items, the warnings I have received are from a different file than the
previous one.
