Org-mode version 6.04c : org-remember

Org-mode version 6.04c : org-remember

[Richard G Riley]

If I call org-remember with text hilited I get "and: Symbol's value as
variable is void: use-empty-active-region".

Can someone suggest what I might have wrong here?

I assume you are marking a region with "active region highlighting"
set. How does your remember template look like? 

Could you please post the output of the debugger/backtrace?  What
version of emacs?

Things are perfect with emacs23 and org-mode 6.04c.

It happens before I select a template. It's when org-remember is called.

22.2.1

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable use-empty-active-region)

seems to have something to do with org-region-active-p.

I do not have any old emacs sitting around could you please check the
result of 

(fbound 'use-region-p)

use-empty-active-region was introduced for emacs23, I think

please check if you can customize "use-empty-active-region" and if so,
set it to nil (the default in emacs23). please also check whether you
have undefined this variable somewhere in your settings (how does it
look like if you run emacs -Q)

The error seems to be unrelated to org-mode, but has to be somewhere in
use-region-p which is part of emacs. There are many, many calls to
use-region-p from different packages so it might also be your settings
or your lisp-files being mixed up. After checking all this, you might
want to consider to file a bug report to the emacs-list.

A temporary workaround is to set the variable in your .emacs

Ciao

Of course not since its not not defined :-;

I do not have it. It is not defined.

I did this:

(setq use-empty-active-region nil)

and it now works.
