Re: [BUG] org-mode 9.5.4 with evil-leader leads to endless loop in table [9.5.4 (9.5.4-g6013cb1 @ /Users/cgrabenstein/.emacs.d/straight/build/org/)]

[Christoph Grabenstein]

Hello Ihor,

thanks for your reply, and thanks for further debugging the issue. I created an issue for evil here: https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil/issues/1642. Feel free to add some more details to my report. 

One thing that's still bugging me though is why the table would not hang with the older version of org-mode. As far as I can tell nothing has changed around tables between 9.5.2 and 9.5.4. Do you have any idea what could cause the difference in behaviour? 

Thanks again, and best regards

Christoph

Thanks for reporting!

Thanks for the link. Extra information from the link allowed me to
narrow down the cause. The cause is in evil-mode.

evil-local-mode is run in temporary buffer, which is OK. What is not OK
is that evil-local-mode is altering the match data. It must not happen.
Please report this issue to evil devs.

Best,
Ihor
