Hi,
I have a weird behaviour of emacs 27, too. When starting emacs from a shell with a filename to open, emacs completely ignores the argument.
E.g.:
bash-> emacs text.txt &
Then Emacs starts, produces a lot of output in the shell, and opens the empty scratch-buffer. In the Minibuffer is the message "Can’t find Hunspell dictionary with a .aff affix file".
I don't need the Hunspell dictionary and would prefer Emacs didn't bother to look for it.
What I find annoying is that I need to visit the file "text.txt" from within emacs to open it. I don't see a way to open the file as an argument in the shell command.
To start emacs in the terminal doesn't help:
bash-> emacs -nw text.txt
...still doesn't open the file "text.txt"
I also seem to have a problem with the way the font is used in the emacs X window. The normal 12 point size is thin and difficult to read. I need to enlarge the font to 17 point to get the letters displayed OK. I can't understand this, since the fonts are OK in the terminal, even when I use a rather small sized font.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Best regards, Daniel
PS: Here is some more information:
Emacs 26 was fine.
I currently have Emacs 27 (emacs-27.1-2.1.x86_64)
I am runninig TW 20200823.
The long list of messages in the shell start is:
