Hello Jan, I've extracted the org relevant bit from your post.

Well, first of all, I ensure that my load path is set before anything else is done so that anything that might need org will cause org to be loaded from the right place. I have this line as the first line in my .emacs: (add-to-list 'load-path "~/git/org-mode/lisp") where I have downloaded the most recent version of org into ~/git/org-mode. Avoiding problems with incompatible packages or new bugs is impossible, however. The solution is to avoid upgrade-itis and only upgrade when necessary. Although I track org from git, I don't update all the time and only do so when I know I will have some time to deal with any repercussions. (like today where I upgraded both Emacs and org because I know I have no immediate deadlines) Most other packages, I seldom upgrade if ever. HTH, eric -- : Eric S Fraga, with org release_9.5.1-231-g6766c4 in Emacs 29.0.50 : Latest paper written in org: https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.05096
