I reported to the list a few weeks ago an intermittent 'mark inactive'
error happening in bbdb-redisplay-records that started when I added
("Subject" (".*" last-subj 0 t))
to my bbdb-auto-notes-alist.
I finally spent enough time ignoring everything but the top of the
backtrace, and understand what is happening, but not why people
haven't seen this before.
bbdb-redisplay-records does
(let ((p (point))
(m (mark)))
then later does
(if m (set-mark m)))
obviously expecting (mark) to have returned nil in some circumstances.
My emacs (19.22) apparently signals mark-inactive if the mark is
inactive.
Using
(let ((p (point))
(m (if mark-active (mark) nil)))
seems to solve the problem.
Does this make sense?
Diffs follow.
