Aquamacs for macOS Mojave and Catalina - error in process filter: ‘recenter’ing a window that does not display current-buffer. How can I fix this bug?

0

I'm a very new Mac user and not really an Emacs user. I just use emacs to run PVS Specification and Verification System, by typing the pvs command in the terminal to start the software.

Aquamacs was working properly but suddenly it started to get stuck when running some .pvs files (not all), including some that were working normally before. I'm receiving the following message:

"error in process filter: ‘recenter’ing a window that does not display current-buffer".

The Aquamacs windows freeze, and I just can force it to ends by using the Mac tool or closing the terminal. My Mac was running macOS Mojave when the error started, but after I updated to Catalina the bug continued.

As I'm a new Mac user a beginner in Emacs, I really appreciate any help to fix this.

1It should probably be in Emacs.SX instead. – Stefan – 2019-10-14T00:06:39.847

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is more appropriate for the Emacs Stack Exchange site.

Try to go in the menu and enable "Options => Enter Debugger on Error". Then reproduce the problem. Hopefully you'll get a backtrace which should give you some more info about the origin of the problem. If it doesn't help, post that backtrace (ideally in Emacs.SX, or otherwise here).

I can't find the "Enter Debugger on Error" in the "Options" menu of Aquamacs. I'm using Aquamacs 3.5 GNU Emacs 25.3.50.1. – andre sigilo – 2019-10-15T12:31:11.627

Then try M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET – Stefan – 2019-10-15T14:11:55.813
