You need to do the following to reproduce the problem. 1. Suppose we have some org file 'file.org'. Make Org source code in that file, for example: #+begin_src org ,#+title: The article ,#+author: Noname
,* Abstract :ignore: ,#+begin_abstract This is the cool abstract ,#+end_abstract ,* Section 1 + 1 + 2 ,* Section 2 Hello, World! ,* Section 3 Hello, Org and Emacs! #+end_src 2. Put the cursor in the source block and press C-c '. The separate buffer will open to edit tj Org source block. 3. In that buffer press C-c C-e l o or C-c C-e l l (export buffer to PDF or LaTeX, for example). 4. After export close the buffer by pressing (C-c ' or C-c C-k, it doesn't matter). 5. In the file.org put the cursor in the source block and press C-c '. You will get the error message "Marker does not point anywhere" and the buffer will not open.
