Cannot use predictive mode with latex

Cannot use predictive mode with latex

[Christian Herenz]

Hi,

Predictive just will not work on my machine with latex (or html).
I checked everything twice, and then used the debugger as advised in the 
INSTALL file (that comes with predictive).

The following steps laed to the error (after having completed the steps 
in your INSTALL file):
1. C-x f test.tex (file does not exist - new)
2. M-x predictive-mode
3. Enter \ (Backslash - I normally would like to write something like 
"\begin{document}")

Debbugger says following in emacs:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil)
   =(nil 92)
   (while (= (char-before) 92) (backward-char) (incf i))
   (save-excursion (while (= ... 92) (backward-char) (incf i)))
   (let ((i 0)) (save-excursion (while ... ... ...)) (if (oddp i) (quote 
add) (quote reject)))
   (lambda nil (let (...) (save-excursion ...) (if ... ... ...)))()
   auto-completion-self-insert()
   completion-self-insert()
   call-interactively(completion-self-insert)

4. After that I only hear beeps when I try to modify something in the 
buffer (i.e. it is blocked). I am not able to add anything to the buffer.

I hope I am doing not something completely wrong here, so that it is my 
fault. But I checked everything twice (steps in the install file). Very 
odd (I did just the plain install: make, make install)....

I'm running the Emacs version, which comes with debian lenny:
GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.11) of 
2008-11-09 on excelsior, modified by Debian. But I just tested it an run 
into the same problem on openSUSE 11.1.

When entering predictive-mode in a plain text file, it works fine.

Greetings,
Christian

Hi,

can't reproduce this at GNU Emacs 23.1.92.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.0) of 2010-02-19
Suse 10.3

Predictive Version: 0.17.6

Without predictive-mode:

It is bound to \.

(TeX-insert-backslash ARG)

With predictive-mode in this tex-buffer it's the same, may enter a backslash.

Maybe try: C-h m to get some info

I get the info, that TeX-insert-backslash binding is shadowed by another 
mode. I get the same error when editing a html file and enabling 
predictive mode, if I press <

:-(

Really strange? Is it because 22.2 is maybe not compatible with the 
actual predictive? I wrote the author an email, but has not responded yet.

If you check the key, C-h k \
what is the answer?

\ runs the command completion-self-insert
   which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `completion-ui.el'.
It is bound to -, \, ^, _, ", $.
(completion-self-insert)
