Hello, 

when i try to swicht an active timestamp via org-shitright or when i
fire M-x org-submit-bug-report i get the following error: 

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-read-syntax "?")
  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil
"c:/Users/sane/AppData/Roaming/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20170502/org-clock.el"
nil t)  ; Reading at buffer position 72111
 
load-with-code-conversion("c:/Users/sane/AppData/Roaming/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20170502/org-clock.el"
"c:/Users/sane/AppData/Roaming/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20170502/org-clock.el"
nil t)
  require(org-clock)
  mapc(require (org-agenda org-archive org-attach org-clock org-colview
org-id org-table org-timer))
  org-require-autoloaded-modules()
  org-submit-bug-report()
  call-interactively(org-submit-bug-report record nil)
  command-execute(org-submit-bug-report record)
  execute-extended-command(nil "org-submit-bug-report")
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil) 

I tried to do the same with Edebug on, but somehow it looks fine there. 

Emacs-Version: GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.2.9200) of 2013-03-17 on
MARVIN 

Org-Version: Org mode version 9.0.6 (9.0.6-elpa @
c:/Users/sane/AppData/Roaming/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20170502/) 

Im doing this on windows. 

Any help is appreciated. 

Thanks, 

Michael

Hello Nicolas, 

thanks for the answer. 

I'm not a big expert on lisp. As i did not find any information how a
.patch file works so fast, i just changed it manually in the
org-clock.el like this: 

(defun org-clock-put-overlay (time)
  "Put an overlays on the current line, displaying TIME.
This creates a new overlay and stores it in `org-clock-overlays', so
that it
will be easy to remove."
  (let (ov tx)
    (beginning-of-line)
    (let ((case-fold-search nil))
      (when (looking-at org-complex-heading-regexp)
    (goto-char (match-beginning 4))))
    (setq ov (make-overlay (point) (point-at-eol))
      tx (concat (buffer-substring-no-properties (point) (match-end 4))
             (org-add-props
             (make-string
              (max 0 (- (- 60 (current-column))
                    (- (match-end 4) (match-beginning 4))
                    (length (org-get-at-bol 'line-prefix))))
              ?·)
             '(face shadow))
             (org-add-props
             (format " %9s " (org-minutes-to-clocksum-string time))
             '(face org-clock-overlay))
             ""))
    (overlay-put ov 'display tx)
    (push ov org-clock-overlays))) 

When i byte-compile the file i get the following error: 

Compiling file
c:/Users/sane/AppData/Roaming/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20170502/org-clock.el at
Mon May  8 11:27:30 2017
org-clock.el:1949:1:Error: Invalid read syntax: "?"

Thanks for your patience.

It looks odd. Could you double-check the modification you made? It
should be made of the following characters: 

  ? \ ·

without space between them.

Hello Nicolas, 

that worked perfectly. 

I had a strange character in that file and now it works good. 

Thanks, 

Michael
