Heya!

I'm having issues creating a regular Hyperbole button with {C-h h i c}
and Info-index.

I wanted to link to a specific info page, however, after setting a label
and attempting to link to Info-index, I get the error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Cannot clone a file-visiting buffer")
  error("Cannot clone a file-visiting buffer")

  command-execute(hyperbole)

Version is 20240401.1927.

I'm also noticing that regular info is broken as well:

{C-h h i c eat<RET>info<RET>}

Creates the following:

<[eat]> - <nil nil nil>

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sincerely,
Marc

One way around this is to enter (with completion) link-to-Info-index-item, rather than just ‘Info’.  Or you can use link-to-Info-node if that is what you want.  Both should work.  Not sure what ‘Info’ by itself is doing but we’ll sort that out separately.

This is the regular behavior of Emacs Info-index when called interactively
from a buffer with an attached file.  It simply doesn't support what you
are trying to do.  As mentioned in another response to your issue, use the
action type link-to-Info-index-item instead.

The above works a bit better now but again you should choose the action
type link-to-Info-node instead.

Hope that helps.  We'll be closing this issue now.
