Subject: 11.89.5; Bug: org-table/auctex error "Marker does not point anywhere"
Date: Sat, 24 Sep 2016 12:03:59 -0500

I get an error "Marker does not point anywhere" when using orgtbl-mode 
while using AUCTeX to edit a .tex file. The error does not happen if I 
rename the min.tex file to min.nottex, as then AUCTeX does not recognize 
the file and does not load. So this is a joint 
org-table/auctex/font-lock error, and I am submitting this bug to 
emacs-orgmode <at> gnu.org and to bug-auctex <at> gnu.org.

I open the .tex file, get to the table I want to edit, then do M-x 
orgtbl-mode. I then tab a couple of times. Then make an edit - any edit. 
Tab again, and the error comes up.

I finally traced the error to the line

   '(font-lock-global-modes nil)

in my .emacs file. Comment this out, and the error does not happen.

I really don't like font-lock, as I don't like all those colors. I'd 
prefer to have my font-lock-global-modes set to nil, somehow.

Minimal files and backtrace below.

Thanks,

Andrius

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

Is this issue still present?

I tried it with a recent AUCTeX and Emacs and couldn't reproduce it.

No further comments, therefore I'm closing this.
