Hello,
this looks like it might be a bug.
As the subject line says, set-auto-mode fails when
org-startup-shrink-all-tables is t and file contains table.el tables.
If my org file has a table.el table in it, like this
+--+
| |
+--+
then on finding the file I see the message `File mode specification
error: (user-error Not at a table)' and the buffer isn't properly
fontified.
Debug-on-error isn't working for me with this issue right now, but the
relevant code appears to be in org.el:
(org-table-map-tables
(cond ((and org-startup-align-all-tables
org-startup-shrink-all-tables)
(lambda () (org-table-align) (org-table-shrink)))
(org-startup-align-all-tables #'org-table-align)
(t #'org-table-shrink))
t)
This apparently tries to call (org-table-shrink) on the table.el table,
which doesn't work.
Best,
liv
