Subject: emacs locks up after $('
Date: Fri, 22 May 2009 16:18:13 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e41d198e-1ba5-4357-83e9-351a714cd871@j18g2000prm.googlegroups.com> (raw)
I'm a longtime emacs user, new to this group, and looking for help.
I'm editing a file in "JavaScript Moz" mode, and I type, in the middle
of a long file of javascript code:
$('
followed by some characters (depending on how quickly I type them).
Then emacs stops accepting input, and hogs all the system CPU. Until
I have to kill the process, losing whatever I was in the middle of.
Very frustrating.
What is this sequence of characters making emacs do, and how do I
prevent this or recover from it?
Thanks for any help.
-Dave
