I tried 9.7.27 (latest available from GNU ELPA) and main (downloaded today). The good news is that I can no longer reproduce the problem with "emacs -Q". The bad news is that I still see the problem with normal startup (no -Q). This is the case even after hiding my ~/.emacs, so I don't think the problem is related to any of my private Lisp code or settings. I noticed that with -Q, the initial error message that I get is about the buffer being read-only. But without -Q, the initial error message is "Cannot update this checkbox". Is it possible that there's some Org mode code (possibly related to checkboxes) that isn't getting run with -Q, and that this code is causing trouble when Emacs is started normally? mike
