Description Andrey Grozin gentoo-dev 2017-02-05 20:39:38 UTC
After installing python-mode-6.2.0 it became absolutely impossible to work with python files in emacs. When I type

def abc(

the cursor jumps to the letter c before (. I move it to the end of the line (ctrl-e), but after a fraction of second it jumps back to the letter c. If I'm quick and lucky, I can manage to type, say, x when the cursor at the end of the line; then it jumps no more.

Another problem: half of the emacs window is automatically taken by the *Python-help* buffer; its content flutters quickly, it's just impossible to concentrate on the small region left to me for writing my program. And I could not find any way to disable the damn thing once and for all.

I had to downgrade to 6.1.2 and mask >=6.2.0.

I've bumped the package to version 6.2.3, can you test if that fixes the problem?
