Something is wrong, maybe one of you X resources or one of the emacs packages below your ~/.emacs.d/ of below /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/

This does not harm. Tell me what shell are you using, do you have some aliases and/or shell functionss around emacs. Also show me the X resources xrdb -query | grep -i emacs and do you have an Emacs file in your HOME directory? What is below ~/.emacs.d/ and do the files ~/.emacs and ~/.gnu-emacs and their backup/custom variants exist: ls -l ~/.emacs* ~/.gnu-emacs* find ~/.emacs.d/ ls -l ~/Emacs rpm -qf /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/* | sort -u -- "Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool." -- Edward Burr
Dear Werner, I am most grateful for your help. And I just found that with the option "--no-site-lisp, -nsl", emacs is fine. E. g., daniel@capriolo:~> emacs -nsl test.txt works as expected. Maybe the site-lisp-files are broken? The site-lisp directory came with the new emacs installation, as I deleted /usr/share/emacs before a fresh emacs installation: Just a few minutes ago, I deinstalled emacs, emacs-info, etags and emacs-x11. Then I deleted /usr/share/emacs and rebooted the machine. Then, I installed emacs via zypper. With it came emacs-info, etags, and emacs-x11 (please see post scriptum for the installation log). In response to the other tests you asked for: I agree that the shell is behaving strangely. I use bash and never used anything else. With it, I get the message "emacs is hashed". But when I start bash explicitely, I get a different behaviour than in the "normal" bash: daniel@capriolo:~> echo $SHELL /bin/bash daniel@capriolo:~> ps PID TTY TIME CMD 2213 pts/1 00:00:00 bash 7991 pts/1 00:00:00 ps daniel@capriolo:~> type emacs emacs is hashed (/usr/bin/emacs) daniel@capriolo:~> bash daniel@capriolo:~> type emacs emacs ist /usr/bin/emacs Regarding excecution path: daniel@capriolo:~> echo $PATH /home/daniel/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin Here are the X resources around Emacs: daniel@capriolo:~> xrdb -query | grep -i emacs Emacs*Background: #fcfcfc Emacs*Dialog*background: #eff0f1 Emacs*Dialog*foreground: #232627 Emacs*Foreground: #232627 Emacs*XlwScrollBar.Background: #eff0f1 Emacs*XlwScrollBar.Foreground: #232627 Emacs*backgroundToolBarColor: #eff0f1 Emacs*bottomToolBarShadowColor: #eff0f1 Emacs*menubar*background: #eff0f1 Emacs*menubar*foreground: #232627 Emacs*popup*Background: #eff0f1 Emacs*popup*Foreground: #232627 Emacs*toolBarShadowThickness: 0 Emacs*topToolBarShadowColor: #eff0f1 Emacs.default.attributeBackground: #fcfcfc Emacs.default.attributeForeground: #232627 daniel@capriolo:~> ls -l ~/.emacs* ~/.gnu-emacs* -rw-r--r-- 1 daniel users 707 30.

Dear Werner, again, thank you very much for your kind help. I am happy with the work-around using the -nsl option. I re-installed enforced desktop-file-utils and gettext-runtime. I even tried and reinstalled *all* packages using the command zypper in -f $(rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME} ') No luck, though, I still need the -nsl option.

Dear Werner,
again, thank you very much for your kind help. I am happy with the work-around using the -nsl option.
I re-installed enforced desktop-file-utils and gettext-runtime.
I even tried and reinstalled *all* packages using the command zypper in -f $(rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME} ')
That was not needed IMHO, this is not Windows[tm] ;)
No luck, though, I still need the -nsl option. Maybe something is broken in the site-lib directory from the Tumbleweed package?
Maybe, please provide a listing of all files below site-lisp find /usr/share/emacs/27.1/site-lisp/ /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ thanks. Werner -- "Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool." -- Edward Burr
Dear Werner, yes, I agree, the re-installation was probably not necessary. I poked around a litte bit, and if I add a comment sign in front of the the hunspell line in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el the behaviour is fine. So the relevant section now reads: ;; Preload dynamic (i)Spell menu ;; ----------------------------- (if (not (load "/usr/lib/ispell/ispell-emacs-menu.el" t t)) (cond ((or (executable-find "aspell") ; (executable-find "hunspell") (executable-find "ispell")) (load "ispell" t t)))) The new site-start.el file is in the post scriptum. Here is the difference: capriolo:/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp # diff site-start.el-weg site-start.el 69c69 < (executable-find "hunspell") ---
; (executable-find "hunspell")

The new site-start.el file is in the post scriptum.

Dear Werner, no, I didn't have ispell or aspell installed, But hunspell is installed. There was no such file /usr/lib/ispell/ispell-emacs-menu.el But wait: After writing these lines, I installed ispell. It came with the file /usr/lib/ispell/ispell-emacs-menu.el And now I use the default site-start.el file without the comment on the hunspell line. And you will have guessed it: Emacs works fine. Thank you very much for your valuable help. My take home message: If Emacs behaves weird, install ispell :-) Best regards, Daniel -- Daniel Schlieper email: daniel.schlieper@tuxomania.net On Fri, 28 Aug 2020, Dr. Werner Fink wrote:
