Re: [BUG] Org-9.6.x org templates hang on 'clipboard pasted as level 2 s

Hey Ihor, I recently upgraded my emacs to emacs@29 via homebrew, and I know this is an

old thread, but now that my new emacs version comes with org-9.6.6, I am getting the same

issues as I detailed in this thread with my org capture templates. I tried to do a reproduce

with emacs -q but the error does not reproduce in those conditions, so it might be an issue

with org mode interacting with some of my other packages installed.

I will include a list of emacs packages I have installed, and my org-init.el file. Maybe you

could see if anything jumps out at you that is causing this weird behavior.

I've decided to delete the org-9.6 folder entirely and go with the
built-in org-9.5.5 that comes with my emacs distribution, emacs-28.2 (9.0).

Maybe for some reason newer versions of org are just incompatible with
my version of emacs 28.2. Maybe the version of emacs you're using is
newer or somehow more compatible with these bleeding edge development
versions of org-mode, but I suppose when I upgrade my emacs the version
of org that comes with it (9.6, I suppose) will just work out of the box.

At any rate, I can't spend any more time and energy on this. I'll stick to
what works. Thanks for the help.

I tried your templates locally and I am not seeing any problem.

May you try to reproduce starting from emacs -Q?
Or, alternatively, try to use the following version of Org capture, use
C-g to exit, and report the (hopefully) more detailed backtrace.

(defun org-capture (&optional goto keys)
"Capture something.
\\<org-capture-mode-map>
This will let you select a template from `org-capture-templates', and
then file the newly captured information. The text is immediately
inserted at the target location, and an indirect buffer is shown where
you can edit it. Pressing `\\[org-capture-finalize]' brings you back to the \
previous
state of Emacs, so that you can continue your work.

When called interactively with a `\\[universal-argument]' prefix argument \
GOTO, don't
capture anything, just go to the file/headline where the selected
template stores its notes.

With a `\\[universal-argument] \\[universal-argument]' prefix argument, go to \
the last note stored.

When called with a `C-0' (zero) prefix, insert a template at point.

When called with a `C-1' (one) prefix, force prompting for a date when
a datetree entry is made.

ELisp programs can set KEYS to a string associated with a template
in `org-capture-templates'. In this case, interactive selection
will be bypassed.

If `org-capture-use-agenda-date' is non-nil, capturing from the
agenda will use the date at point as the default date. Then, a
`C-1' prefix will tell the capture process to use the HH:MM time
of the day at point (if any) or the current HH:MM time."
