Hello @phisu ,

Please run M-x toggle-debug-on-error and reproduce the bug, a backtrace will appears, can you post it here.

What emacs version are you using ?

Can you try to recompile company-box (M-:)

 (byte-recompile-directory (file-name-directory (find-library-name "company-box")) 0 t)

Can you send your configuration for company-box and company

my emacs version:

GNU Emacs 26.3 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.14) of 2020-03-26, modified by Debian

i am using the centaur emacs configuration framework: https://github.com/seagle0128/.emacs.d

[sebastiencs]

@phisu Please make sure that your configuration is updated with the latest centaur. centaur used to redefine functions that were modified recently in company-box

https://github.com/seagle0128/.emacs.d/blob/master/lisp/init-company.el

[phisu]

i just updated centaur. but the issue still persists.

[sebastiencs]

You most likely have a compiled file of an old version of centaur somewhere (a file ending with .elc).

It is that version of my-company-box--render-buffer causing your issue. https://github.com/seagle0128/.emacs.d/commit/91e08439d62cedfce9da8fe9a8b833a29ad0dd04#diff-18a577e3c1bb530313fb7f98374df956

@seagle0128 is there any command that needs to be run to update @phisu's compiled files ?

[seagle0128]

centaur-update should work. If not, delete company-box and reinstall it.

[sebastiencs]

@phisu In addition to @seagle0128 instructions, please check that you don't have a file named init-company.elc somewhere

[phisu]

thank you for your help. i did not found init-company.elc in my .emacs.d directory. but i found init-company.el. this one was older than what you mentioned above in seagle0128/.emacs.d@91e0843#diff-18a577e3c1bb530313fb7f98374df956 . i copied https://github.com/seagle0128/.emacs.d/blob/91e08439d62cedfce9da8fe9a8b833a29ad0dd04/lisp/init-company.el over my init-company.el. the error message did not exist anymore. aftter that i did centaur-update and i could see that the files in company-box-20200907.1454 was updated. no error messages any more. many thanks for your quick help.
