I'm not sure the --no-split is the origin of the problem, but I'm sure the bug is in info.el. For some reason, Info-build-node-completions can get a tag table marker whose buffer is the *info* buffer itself, not another one that you could get if the file is indirect. In that case, it tries to go to the marker position without the buffer being widended, and thus fails finding the tag table. Here's a half-blind fix. Half-blind because I don't really know if we should always have another buffer for the tag table or not. 1999-02-12 Didier Verna <verna(a)inf.enst.fr&gt; * info.el (Info-build-node-completions): unconditionally widen the tag table buffer. --- lisp/info.el.orig Fri Feb 12 19:36:34 1999 +++ lisp/info.el Fri Feb 12 19:37:03 1999 ＠＠ -1542,6 +1542,7 ＠＠ (let ((compl (Info-build-annotation-completions))) (save-excursion (save-restriction + (widen) (if (marker-buffer Info-tag-table-marker) (progn (set-buffer (marker-buffer Info-tag-table-marker)) ＠＠ -1551,7 +1552,6 ＠＠ (cons (list (buffer-substring (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1))) compl)))) - (widen) (goto-char (point-min)) (while (search-forward "\n\^_" nil t) (forward-line 1) -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / E.N.S.T.
