Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See
https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ By default Org prompts you to make sure you really want to execute the code in an elisp link; as the docstring for org-link-elisp-confirm-function says, just think about a link like [[elisp:(shell-command "rm -rf ~/*")][Web Search]]! But the formatting of the default confirmation message leaves something to be desired. The function org-link--open-elisp which is in charge of confirming that you want to execute the code does this: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (funcall org-link-elisp-confirm-function (format "Execute %S as Elisp? " (org-add-props path nil 'face 'org-warning))) #+end_src emacs-lisp And the combination of capital %S with the propertized path produces confirmation prompts like the following: Execute #("(describe-variable 'org-capture-templates)" 0 42 (face org-warning)) as Elisp? Notice that instead of /being/ propertized with the org-warning face it shows a textual representation of the propertize string! I'd suggest fixing this by /not/ propertizing the link target.
