[O] Is babel just ... unstable at the moment?
So I keep running into very strange babel behaviors. In addition to the whacked-out rendering oddities I've been posting about, I've just executed a static R block a half dozen times and gotten three or four different results blocks. I'm not going to try to minimal-example this one, it seems too timing sensitive to be worth attempting replication. I'm using the blocks-calling-other-blocks behavior rather heavily, and the variation seems to be that, on some calls, output from dependencies is just getting pasted into the output from the dependant block. Worse, there was one occasion on which it seems I got an output line from 'last' C-c C-c in 'this' run's output block. I've been seeing comments about changes to the babel block formats recently, so it's perhaps plausible that git HEAD just isn't stable. Should I back off? - Allen S. Rout

Hi Allen, I think what you are experiencing is the lack of previous heavy usage of inline call lines -- especially with multiple such calls on the same line. You've discovered a couple of edge cases and you seem to have a knack for coming up with pernicious examples. Please do keep these sorts of error reports coming, as I would like to fix any such errors in the code. Thanks, Allen S. Rout a...@ufl.edu writes: So I keep running into very strange babel behaviors.

Why sir, I blush! *fans self* I just proudly repeated this comment to my co-workers. One of them commented They seem to know you!. :) - Allen S. Rout
