When this starts happening, it will happen for pretty much any operation
that wants to change the table text. This time, as can be seen, it was
when I typed C-c C-c to trim the current cell, but it also would happen
if I tried to type Backspace to shorten the text in the cell, for
example.
It seems to start appearing once the table reaches a certain size and /
or complexity. I can also provide the table or the entire .org file, but
it has a level of sensitivity so I'd prefer to do that off list.
The backtrace and the following settings were captured during a run
of `emacs -Q -nw`.
