Subject: 26.1; Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil in window-edges
Date: Sun, 09 Dec 2018 22:34:12 +0100

Launching emacs in a terminal (DISPLAY=:0.0, but no X server running),
including my .emacs, I get 
Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil in window-edges
errors on C-n and C-p.
The error come from window-edges.

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil)
  window-edges(nil t nil t)
  window-inside-pixel-edges()
  window-screen-lines()
  line-move-partial(1 nil)
  line-move(1 nil nil 1)
  next-line(1 1)
  funcall-interactively(next-line 1 1)
  call-interactively(next-line nil nil)
  command-execute(next-line)

Running with a window-edges not compiled, we find that the problem is
that border-width is nil. I would therefore suggest to patch
window-edges, to use 0 when frame-internal-border-width returns nil
(which occurs when running in a terminal):

    (let (…
          (border-width (or (frame-internal-border-width frame) 0))
          …)

I don't understand.  The definition of frame-internal-border-width is
this:

  DEFUN ("frame-internal-border-width", Fframe_internal_border_width, Sframe_internal_border_width, 0, 1, 0,
	 doc: /* Return width of FRAME's internal border in pixels.  */)
    (Lisp_Object frame)
  {
    return make_number (FRAME_INTERNAL_BORDER_WIDTH (decode_any_frame (frame)));
  }

This can only return numbers, never nil, even when we are on a text
terminal.  Are you sure you don't override this definition with some
local code?

Thanks.

You’re right, I have been overriding this frame-internal-border-width function from a macro defining functions for all the frame parameters. I’m changing the name used now.  You may close the bug report; sorry.
