Hello, Occasionally, when I start emacs from the command line, I get this bug, but it's intermittent, so I have ignored it until now. All I can report is that I opened an org file named scratch.org and received the following error message: Warning (org-element): org-element--cache: Org parser error in scratch.org::8756. Resetting. The error was: (error "Invalid search bound (wrong side of point)") Backtrace: nil Please report this to Org mode mailing list (M-x org-submit-bug-report). Then I closed the buggy emacs window and tried again and it was fine.
