[Ebib-users] Can't save multiline buffer

[Phil a. M. C. <pan...@bi...>]

Dear Mr Kremers,

I have been trying Ebib out, as a replacement for bibtex-mode.

I use the annote field a lot, for keeping notes, reminders etc. When I execute C-c | s or C-c | q in the annote buffer I get the error message "Wrong type argument: array, nil", and the buffer is not saved.

Here is the backtrace I get after toggling the debugger:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument arrayp nil)
  ebib-db-get-entry("bonyhady2011" nil)
  ebib-db-set-field-value("annote" "This is a note about....\n" "bonyhady2011" nil overwrite)
  ebib--store-multiline-text(#<buffer bonyhady2011-->annote>)
  ebib-save-from-multiline-buffer()
  call-interactively(ebib-save-from-multiline-buffer nil nil)

My limited understanding of elisp don't allow me to get any further with this these error messages. I wonder if you could suggest some way around this problem.

I am running Emacs 24.4.1 under Mac OS X 10.7.5.

Thanks for your assistance.
