Emacs sometimes freezes after using capture

[jtrakk]

Often after I use the snippet a few times, Emacs will lock up and stop responding to keypresses, and I have to kill emacs. I don't know why this would be, but I'm pretty confident that it only happens after I use this plugin. I use this plugin very often, so it can be a bit inconvenient :-).

I realize this isn't much of a report, but I don't have any ideas for narrowing it down. I'm posting this mostly in case somebody has seen something similar and solved it.

I'm interested in any thoughts anybody has. :-)

Like you said, there's not much I can do with that report, but anyway:

There's no commit with that hash in this repo.

GNU Emacs 26.1

That's not the current version of Emacs.

Often after I use the snippet a few times, Emacs will lock up and stop responding to keypresses, and I have to kill emacs.

1. See if there's an emacsclient process running when Emacs appears to be frozen.
2. You almost never have to actually kill Emacs. Try pkill -SIGUSR2 emacs, which should unfreeze it and display a backtrace.

Thanks for the tips, I'll try them out next time this happens.

I'm now on Emacs 26.2 and org-protocol-capture-html version 23a1336. It stops responding to keyboard input, while still accepting mouse input. When I send SIGUSR2, the debugger shows company-pre-command, but it still doesn't accept keyboard input. There is an emacsclient running, beacuse that's how I usually run emacs. Killing emacs solves the issue.

I'm gonna close the issue for now. If you have any ideas, I'd be interested to hear. Thanks :-)

Sounds like the problem is related to company-pre-command. Try removing company-related things from your config.
