window-live-p error

window-live-p error

[Robert Marshall]

using CVS 0.06 updated on the 20th Jan

Sometimes when I middle click on a message id in the *Article* buffer
I get the error:
window-minibuffer-p: Wrong type argument: window-live-p, #<window 421>

The message requested does appear though

Doesn't always happen...

Looks like a repeat of the problem in news:2nsndm7ym6.fsf@piglet.jia.vnet
but (AFAICS) that one only addressed mailto and reply?

I'm unable to reproduce the bug -- I hit that Message-ID, but didn't
get a bug-out.

I get it consistently on either of the references in your message, but
I then go to another group try clicking on a reference on another of
your messages but don't get the problem.

I have though seen it in other groups beside gnus.ding, but I've not
yet managed to tie it down. Could it be something to do with bbdb?
though I've go bbdb/news-auto-create-p set to nil

What's the backtrace?

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument window-live-p #<window 17>)
  select-window(#<window 17>)
  widget-button-click((down-mouse-2 (#<window 17> 320 (360 . 186) -111778376)))
  call-interactively(widget-button-click)

It would appear to be either provoked by bbdb/gnus interaction or
caused by bbdb, if I remove (bbdb-insinuate-gnus) from .gnus.el, I
don't get the problem, if I then call bbdb-insinuate-gnus I get the
above error 
I have
(setq bbdb-use-pop-up nil)
so there isn't a bbdb window

You should report this to the bbdb people.

FWIW, I've just upgraded to the latest version of bbdb (2.34 rather
than going the whole hog with cvs) and the bug is gone
