Subject: 25.2; "ubuntu mono font" and "query-replace" (twice) hangs emacs
Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2018 17:58:38 -0800

Reproducible steps with "emacs -Q":

1. Set the font with (set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "Ubuntu Mono").
2. In any buffer (including *scratch* of a freshly-started emacs).
3. Do a query-replace, it does not matter if anything is found or replaced.
4. Do another query-replace. This time, emacs should provide the 
previous search/replace as default, something ala:
        Query replace (foo --> bar): _
    where the --> is actually a fancy arrow, not dash-dash-greaterthan. 
Emacs always slows down a little in this part.
5. Interrupt (C-g) before completing the act. Emacs hangs (for me). 
(Occasionally it requires doing this twice, never more than that.)

If I do not set the font (fresh emacs) or set it to another font (e.g., 
"Consolas"), no such slow-down or hang occurs with the same steps.

Further information, as mentioned in a comment on StackOverflow 
(https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/38449/ubuntu-mono-font-hanging-emacs?noredirect=1#comment60603_38449):

Changing `query-replace-from-to-separator` to something trivial such as 
" -> " also fixes the problem. This suggests that there is (1) likely 
something "different" with Ubuntu Mono's interpretation of the 
right-arrow character, and (2) emacs is not dealing well with that 
different-ness.

(I recently upgraded to "GNU Emacs 25.3.1 (x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 
2017-09-12", the bug behaves the same. It originally became a problem 
when I upgraded from emacs24 to emacs25.)

Does it help to set use-default-font-for-symbols to the nil value
(without customizing query-replace-from-to-separator)?

No, it still causes the hang.

Is `query-replace' necessary to trigger the bug, or does evaling

(message "%s" query-replace-from-to-separator)

a couple of times also hang Emacs?

It is certainly noticeably slower than with other fonts, but I could not 
get it to actually hang emacs.
