An oddball behavior

[Robert Goldman]

Intermittently, and not reproducibly, I have a weird aquamacs behavior
where when I click on the menu bar, a file save/open box (a native Mac
one) pops up.

I was poking around the messages buffer when this last happened, and I
see the following:

QuitError during redisplay: (eval (tabbar-line)) signaled
(wrong-type-argument listp t)

Any idea what that might be?

Looks like it might be related to


(defconst tabbar-header-line-format '(:eval (tabbar-line))
"The tab bar header line format.")

in lisp/aquamacs/tabbar/tabbar.el

When I check that, it invokes:

tabbar-line

which invokes

(tabbar-line-format tabbar-current-tabset)

when

(tabbar-template tabbar-current-tabset)

returns nil

When I evaluate tabbar-current-tabset, I see the following:

\3

which is a (very odd) symbol, instead of a list.

No idea where this value is coming from.... And this may be a red
herring, since this is a buffer local value, and the \3 may not be the
value for the erring buffer.

If anyone has any suggestions for further debugging, I'd be grateful.
