Question

I am trying to get started with RefTeX in Emacs 24.1.50.3, built --without-x. Running

(reftex-citation)

seems to work at first. I can enter a regex and get a list of matching citations in my bibliography. However, selecting an entry makes the buffer stops working. Attempting to navigate gives the following error

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Marker does not point anywhere")
  posn-at-point()
  line-move-visual(1 nil)
  line-move(1 nil nil 1)
  byte-code("\302\303\211   $\207" [arg try-vscroll line-move nil] 5)
  next-line(1 1)
  call-interactively(next-line nil nil)

This should not be caused by my init.el, because it occurs even when I launch emacs with --no-site-files and enter (reftex-mode) manually.

Answer 1

Actually, --no-site-file does not inhibit your init.el file.

See C-hig (emacs) Initial Options RET

Start emacs -Q to be sure this is not being caused by non-standard libraries.

If so, then it sounds like a bug, in which case:
