By reading the thread, it seems it's exactly the same problem.

What happens is that the buffer which contains the org file doesn't seem to accept any keyboard input anymore. If I use the mouse to switch to another buffer, there the keyboard input works as it should. Then if I switch back to the problematic file, it works as well, for a while. Also, I've noticed that the problem seems to be happening when I try to expand a heading. For now I can do this mouse switching of buffers but I'd really like to know what happens and how can it be fixed.

[O] Emacs hangs in org file
Hi all, I have a fairly simple org file with only a couple of headings, TODOs and some notes. The issue I'm seeing is that Emacs hangs to the point where I have to force close it when I'm trying to expand a headline. The behavior seems random, i.e. it's not always the same header and I don't have specific steps to reproduce. Versions: GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36) of 2012-12-30 on bob.porkrind.org Org-mode version 7.9.2 (7.9.2-181-ge8aaca-elpaplus @ /Users/stelianiancu/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20121231/) Any ideas how can I debug this further or why this might happen? Thanks! S.

M-x toggle-debug-on-quit RET Hit C-g when Emacs hangs. Or You can put the following in your .emacs (setq debug-on-quit t) Or It is always good to check everything is OK with minimal Emacs/Org emacs --debug-init -L ~/src/org-mode/lisp -L ~/src/org-mode/contrib/lisp Thanks!

Or You can put the following in your .emacs (setq debug-on-quit t) Tried this and unfortunately it didn't help. Once it hangs, pressing C-g does nothing. On the other hand, maybe it doesn't actually hang. I just noticed this time that the mouse seems to work, i.e. I can move the pointer to different places in the buffer by clicking and I can also select text. It's just the keyboard that doesn't seem to be working anymore inside Emacs. Unfortunately I don't have the menu enabled so I can't tell if it also does something else.

If you must use some unreleased version, try at least the pre-release for Emacs 24.3, that is 24.2.9x. Regards, Achim.
