initialization - Emacs calc minibuffer blank face---how to debug? -
when running emacs calc, typing prefix key, 'm', followed '?' supposed show mode-related commands in minibuffer kind of quick help facility.
for several years have noticed quit working me. when nail '?' minibuffer flashes help little fraction of second, goes blank. can see parts of help text rendered ususally blanks fast see it.
this not happen when run emacs -q skip init file, in init file cuplprit.
my init file quite large. set '(exit)' in different places in init file stop processing init file , see if can pin downwards causing problem.
(1) right way this?
(2) else see problem minibuffer in calc?
good question. reply simple: recursively bisect init file.
do commenting out 1/2 of it, 3/4, 7/8,... binary search, , quick, though might not seem way @ first. systematic, , blind (thoughtless).
to comment out block of text, utilize command comment-region. uncomment block of text, utilize c-u same command.
trust me - in no time @ all, have identified culprit code, no matter how big init file is. , if load other libraries init file, , doing exercise above shows culprit code in 1 of libraries, same thing (a re-create of) library code: recursively bisect it.
