Backtrace 3 🐾

Backtrace.txt

I can't copy and paste the preceding Backtrace into this message, so I uploaded it as a file.

[bmag]

Can't repro with latest develop and packages. Maybe add a minimal latex file where the bug happens?

[jajpater]

I had this happen a couple of times yesterday. At the moment I can't reproduce it myself. Don't know why this happened. I had a lot of other buffers open yesterday. I will update the reproduction guide when this happens again. Is there an emacs commando that shows what input In have given emacs? Something like the history command in bash?

[braham-snyder]

M-x view-lossage shows command history

that said, this looks a lot like #9220

[jajpater]

I had it happening to me again. I have pasted the relevant bit of view-lossage to the reproduction guide.
The string I was searching was "een" and after typing this emacs crashed on me. It seems I was trying to correct the search string with a backspace. Wonder why view-lossage gives the second 'e' not as a "self-insert-command" but as a "debugger-eval-expression."

[jajpater]

It happened again while editing my .spacemacs So this certainly isn't a LaTeX problem. That tag can be removed. I uploaded another Backtrace. This time in my Messages buffer it said: evil-ex-start-search: Search failed: "Yate"
(I was searching for the string Yatemplate but when comming to the 'e' Emacs crashed on me.)

[braham-snyder]

did you already try the solutions in the issue I linked?

[jajpater]

@braham-snyder Indeed, it might well be a poweline issue. I seems that this issue started since I changed dotspacemacs-default-font '( [..] :size 18 I did not change the :powerline-scale however. Maybe that is necessary? I have now excluded spaceline from my config by setting dotspacemacs-excluded-packages '(spaceline) I hope this solves the issue. I'll keep you informed.

[jajpater]

Since I disabled spaceline I haven't had this issue. So I guess you are right @braham-snyder. I'm closing this issue since #9220 is probably the same and still open.
