org-mode not loading properly on startup

org-mode not loading properly on startup

[Paul Mead]

Just a niggling issue here, I have a function set up to load my main org
file work.org.

(defun gtd()
  (interactive)
  (find-file "~/.gtd/work.org")
)

Straightforward enough, but since I downloaded v6.20 I then have to
manually switch using M-x org-mode. Otherwise the faces are all wrong,
hidden stars don't work, etc. Interestingly the mode line shows 'org'
before and after. Once I manually switch it on, everything is fine.

There was a problem with faces, can you try to get 6.20g
and let me know if it works there?

Also, can you look at the messages buffer, to see if there
is anything strange in there???

Hi Carsten,

I am already using 6.20g and the behaviour is the same. I can't see
anything funny in the *Messages* buffer, but here are the contents
immediately after running M-x gtd

Do you have set up to make .org files automatically enter org-mode?

What happens if you use C-x C-f to open the file?

I have the following:

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'" . org-mode))

If I use C-x C-f the behaviour is the same for the first .org file which
I open. Any subsequent files that I open behave normally, whether or not
I manually start org-mode. 

I have also tried opening files in different order - work.org and
home.org. Which ever one I open first after starting emacs fails to show
the faces, hide stars, etc. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong
with the files themselves therefore.

Other org-mode functions such as TAB to hide/show contents work fine.

I don't have enough to work on here.

Any other ideas anyone?  Maybe more windows people to test this?
Maybe Paul needs to share his full setup, or try to minimize it while  
keeping the error?

Two quick ideas,

1. Try starting Emacs with the -Q option.  That disables any of your
   personal initialization/customizations.  If it is working with -Q
   then you know the problem lies somewhere in your own personal setup,
   and you can start adding things back in one at a time.

2. When you open a file you can try (\C-hv major-mode) which will tell
   you if org-mode is actually turned on.

Best of Luck -- Eric

Paul,

Try changing the org-mode line below to:

   (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))

See if that makes a difference.  I don't understand the use of \\'
in your line below.

Hi Mark, just tried that and it made no difference.

Just to let you know, for unrelated reasons I deleted and re-cloned the
repository and recompiled from scratch, and this problem disappeared.

Just one of those things I guess...

Win XP
Org-mode version 6.20g (just downloaded)
GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2008-09-06 on SOFT-MJASON

Emacs closed and re-opened, works like a charm, faces are ok

both files with the org-mode heading:
    -*- mode: org; -*-
and test.org file

cheers,
