I almost never see recursive edit, so I can't guess from my own
experience what you're talking about. If you can't say more than "too
often", there's not much we can do. We need to know what you are
doing when recursive edit gets invoked.
Hm I am not 100 % sure I am really in recursive-edit, since
describe-mode does not list it, but even if I explicitly enter
recursive-edit describe-mode does not list it.
All I can say is:
it seems that I entered recursive edit right now, without using
isearch. So how to I know that I am in recursive-edit.
Well in the modeline I see [(Message
instead of (Message
and I know that C-] returns the modeline in its original state. So maybe this
indicator is misleading.
I run view-lossage and see
Entering debugger..
It seems that this call changed the modeline.
There is another issue is:
the ([ indicator is not only annoying, but sometimes screws up when I
want to save a file:
when I am in a LaTeX buffer and try to save the buffer, and if the ([
modeline indicator is shown, then a message pops up, "save
buffer as", which should not happen.
So C-] quits the modeline ([ indicator and the saving function works as
expected.
I am not sure whether my indications clarified the issue.... :'(
Ah when I type C-] then the window splits in two and the ([ modeline
indicator disappears.
