emacs - loading compile done error

Question

In emacs - every now and then I'm running a command I don't want (don't know which one) and the status bar says "Loading compile...done" and emacs doesn't respond. How do I fix this?

Answer 1

try to start emacs via emacs -Q . If the error still persists, you need to debug yourself. If you cannot debug, you should send an email to GNU emacs-devel lists.

If the error dissapears, that means you have a bad .emacs or startup.el .
