Selection owner couldn’t convert: STRING

[Sharon Kimble]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512


I've found a problem with Imenu and org-mode, and the error report says -

=
Selection owner couldn’t convert: STRING
Error in menu-bar-update-hook (imenu-update-menubar): (wrong-type-argument 
char-or-string-p nil)
=

And its locking all of the menu-bar up such that nothing on it can be used!

I've rebuilt emacs twice, which also included deleting my git repo of it, and 
re-downloading emacs from git and rebuilding. But its made no difference!   
 

I've also re-downloading org-mode and rebuilt it, still with no solution!

My Imenu configuration hasn't changed since January 2021, so please, how can I 
get Imenu working properly again?

(I'm sending this to the org-mode mailing list because the problem only occurs 
in org-mode.)

Thanks
Sharon.

It's this bit:

The sleep is still 10ms in the in-tree ob-python, at least.

Are you able to reproduce starting from emacs -Q?
See https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html

Does it mean that you are using Emacs 29 (master branch)? Does the same
problem appear in Emacs 28?

> I've also re-downloading org-mode and rebuilt it, still with no solution!

Are you using main branch? bugfix? ELPA version?

10ms magic constant is indeed not great.
However, I am unable to reproduce the original bug on my system.
I tried to draft an alternative patch. See the attached.

Mark, would you mind testing the patch?

It's pity that this issue has not fix yet. I have tried to implement 
another helper function. It is hardly usable outside of `org-open-file' 
(perhaps it is still suitable to make mailcap commands), but separate 
function makes the code testable. I hope, the attached patch fixes the 
problems with multiple regexp groups and with percent characters in 
replacement string. Notice that "\%", not "%%" is used to escape percent 
in mailcap, anyway neither variant was supported before.From 2f2850dcdc0cba8cfc6c0e21fc893c4e664d575c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] org.el: Fix percent substitutions in `org-open-file'

* lisp/org.el (org--open-file-format-command): New function with better
coverage of mailcap RFC 1524 syntax.  Do not replace percent character
in file name or link component, fix substitution of multiple regular

Tests for `org--open-file-format-command'.

The primary goal of moving code outside of `org-open-file' function is to
make it testable.

It should fix the following issues:

Note that python-chain is the name of my session passed to the python blocks as

I will work on getting more details this weekend. It looked like the buffer 
passed to org-babel-comint-wait-for-output was missing the "earmuffs". I tried 
adding the earmuffs with the org function for that but although I got passed 
that error, I messed up my python session and the following python blocks were 
not aware of the imports in the first block.

I tried something that was suggested last September 14th by Augusto Stoffel. I 
had not tried it because changing the sleep from 10 to 90 was my workaround.
One thing that might work is to block until the shell is ready with something 
like

(run-python)
(with-current-buffer *the-shell-buffer*
  (while (not python-shell--first-prompt-received)
(accept-process-output (get-buffer-process (current-buffer)

Thanks, but it is not a good solution. Org cannot rely on internal
variables inside python.el (python-shell--first-prompt-received is an
internal variable). Internal variables are a subject of change without
notice.

May you instead try the attached alternative patch?

That works for me. I'm using a series of python blocks to create org tables to 
be inserted in specific places in the document. So each block is named for that 
reason.

Do we need to worry about the note about not appropriate for large blocks of 
code or does that not apply in this case with the way you implemented it.
(org-babel-comint-wait-for-output BUFFER)

Wait until output arrives from BUFFER.
Note: this is only safe when waiting for the result of a single
statement (not large blocks of code).

It should not be a problem. org-babel-python-initiate-session-by-key is
creating a new python session---no actual code blocks are passed to
python; just the python command is executed.

Fixed on main via 06373a643.

Could you please elaborate how you change the default-directory?
The canonical way to tell Org babel which directory to use is :dir
header argument. AFAIK, python process and files should all be created
in the right context then.

Re: Improve the docstring for 'org-html-mathjax-options'

> Subject: [PATCH] Fix incorrectly documented MathJax options

I am going through some old bug reports and there was another related
report about this docstring.

Rudolf, since you are probably more familiar with MathJax, may you
please take a look at the report below and tell us if the suggestions
are sensible?

Subject: [BUG] org-html-mathjax-options docstring [9.5.1 
(release_9.5.1-11-g96d91b @ /emacs-28.0.90/lisp/org/)]

It seems the docstring of org-html-mathjax-options may need to be
updated.

I tried setting 'autonumber' to "None", as the docstring suggests, but
only the lower-cased "none" worked fine.

Also, MathJax documentation for 2.7 (the version I've got HTML rendered
with by org-mode) mentions "AMS", not "AMS Math"
(http://docs.mathjax.org/en/v2.7-latest/tex.html).

Another option that needs attention is 'indent'. The docstring contains
the phrase 'Valid values are "left" and "right"'. This phrase should be
changed to something like 'An example of a valid value is "2em"' or
simply removed, I think.

For record, this has been fixed on main via 8d93f9b6b.
