Re: Error when completing C-h f

[Kaushal Modi]

Which commit are you on?

I am on the b2b3159 build "mm-decode.el: Simplify regexp used to search html meta tag" .. cannot recreate this problem in emacs -Q or with my config loaded:

On the current master, I noticed this error when completing for some
function names, such as ``C-h f package-'':

  completion--do-completion(20 27)

It seems that I have a bare (nil) in the load-history, which
help--loaded-p doesn't like.

Is this expected?
This doesn't occur on emacs 25.1
