Ok I found out the problem. I was using the following hook:
(defun sm-mozilla-text-hook () (when (string-match (expand-file-name "~/.mozilla/firefox") (buffer-file-name)) (longlines-mode 1))) (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'sm-mozilla-text-hook) But for the capture buffer, buffer-file-name is nil so this fails. Using `or` there fixes it. Anyway I am just surprised that this worked for so long, I have had this hook for years and use these kind of buffers all the time. I guess I should be using. Thank you for looking into it. Simao On Wed, Jan 11, 2017, at 16:05, Simao wrote: > I was using the version bundled with emacs 25. I upgraded to org 9.0.3 > and I still get the same problem.
