There appers to be a compatibility issue between latest org-mode and goto-addr.el in emacs 25.1. Specifically, the 'goto-address-prog-mode funciton. When this function is added to prog-mode-hook, opening an org file with src blocks results in an org-mode fontification error. Minimal init.el used to reproduce this issue is ;; -------------- Start init.el --------------------------------------- (require 'package) (setq package-enable-at-startup nil) (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/")) (package-initialize) (unless (package-installed-p 'org-plus-contrib) (package-refresh-contents) (package-install 'org-plus-contrib)) (require 'org) (require 'goto-addr) (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook 'goto-address-prog-mode) ;; ------------------------ End init.el ------------------------------ minimal test org file used to reporduce the problem ;; ----------------------- Start test.org ----------------------------- * Test This is a simple test org file #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (message "A Test") #+END_SRC ;; ------------------------ End test.org ----------------------------- used emacs -Q -l .emacs.d/init.el to load the init after ensuring .emacs.d/elpa is empty. After startup and download/install of org-plus-contrib, open test.org and get the org-mode fontificaiton error message Emacs : GNU Emacs 25.1.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.18.9) of 2017-02-25 Package: Org mode version 9.0.5 (9.0.5-elpaplus @ /home/tim/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20170210/) current state: ============== (setq org-tab-first-hook '(org-babel-hide-result-toggle-maybe org-babel-header-arg-expand) org-speed-command-hook '(org-speed-command-default-hook org-babel-speed-command-hook) org-occur-hook '(org-first-headline-recenter) org-metaup-hook '(org-babel-load-in-session-maybe) org-confirm-shell-link-function 'yes-or-no-p org-after-todo-state-change-hook '(org-clock-out-if-current) org-src-mode-hook '(org-src-babel-configure-edit-buffer org-src-mode-configure-edit-buffer) org-agenda-before-write-hook '(org-agenda-add-entry-text) org-babel-pre-tangle-hook '(save-buffer) org-mode-hook '((closure (*this* org-babel-confirm-evaluate-answer-no t) nil (add-hook (quote change-major-mode-hook) (quote org-babel-show-result-all) (quote append) (quote local)) ) #[0 "\300\301\302\303\304$\207" [add-hook change-major-mode-hook org-show-block-all append local] 5] #[0 "\300\301\302\303\304$\207" [add-hook change-major-mode-hook org-babel-show-result-all append local] 5] org-babel-result-hide-spec org-babel-hide-all-hashes org-eldoc-load) org-archive-hook '(org-attach-archive-delete-maybe) org-cycle-hook '(org-cycle-hide-archived-subtrees org-cycle-hide-drawers org-cycle-show-empty-lines org-optimize-window-after-visibility-change) org-confirm-elisp-link-function 'yes-or-no-p org-metadown-hook '(org-babel-pop-to-session-maybe) org-link-parameters '(("id" :follow org-id-open) ("rmail" :follow org-rmail-open :store org-rmail-store-link) ("mhe" :follow org-mhe-open :store org-mhe-store-link) ("irc" :follow org-irc-visit :store org-irc-store-link) ("info" :follow org-info-open :export org-info-export :store org-info-store-link) ("gnus" :follow org-gnus-open :store org-gnus-store-link) ("docview" :follow org-docview-open :export org-docview-export :store org-docview-store-link) ("bibtex" :follow org-bibtex-open :store org-bibtex-store-link) ("bbdb" :follow org-bbdb-open :export org-bbdb-export :complete org-bbdb-complete-link :store org-bbdb-store-link) ("w3m" :store org-w3m-store-link) ("file+sys") ("file+emacs") ("doi" :follow org--open-doi-link) ("elisp" :follow org--open-elisp-link) ("file" :complete org-file-complete-link) ("ftp" :follow (lambda (path) (browse-url (concat "ftp:" path)))) ("help" :follow org--open-help-link) ("http" :follow (lambda (path) (browse-url (concat "http:" path)))) ("https" :follow (lambda (path) (browse-url (concat "https:" path)))) ("mailto" :follow (lambda (path) (browse-url (concat "mailto:" path)))) ("message" :follow (lambda (path) (browse-url (concat "message:" path)))) ("news" :follow (lambda (path) (browse-url (concat "news:" path)))) ("shell" :follow org--open-shell-link)) org-clock-out-hook '(org-clock-remove-empty-clock-drawer) ) -- regards, Tim -- Tim Cross
