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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I think there is a conflict between Org hyperlinks and auto-complete. Specifically, when I tried to create a hyperlink of the form "[[*section][section]]", Emacs would go into some infinite loop just after I typed the first ']' and I'd have to kill Emacs (sometimes with '-9'), I think auto-complete popped up just after typing the '*', so I think auto-complete was scanning what I was typing and crashed when I got to the ']'. So, this could be a problem with auto-complete? Not yet sure how to minimize my setup to build a reproducible case or further debug this, but I thought I'd get the bug out to others who might know better.
