Bug Description

Hi,
I’m not used with Emacs (I’m more a Vim user) but as it includes a module “ProofGeneral” to work with Coq, I was working on it. The “Evil” package was active too. Both of those package were installed throw “el-get”: there shouldn’t be any installation problem with my packages.
It seems that each time I’m going to the end (with Evil keymap “G”) and adding a new line (by going to insert mode and typing <enter>) on a Coq file, Emacs takes 100% of the CPU. I had to kill it each time (I’ve tested it several times on my Coq file).
I’ve here launch apport-bug when it appears, I hope there will be enough informations to debug this.
Since I do not know if the problem comes from ProofGeneral, Evil or Emacs itself, I’m declaring it there.
Thanks by advance!
Martin.

Try upgrading to Ubuntu Precise and see if that solves the problem. It contains a newer version of Emacs.

Hi,
It is still there even after upgrading. I guess this is not Emacs’ fault, but rather ProofGeneral’s one (or other module).
I’ve declared a new bug and I’m marking this one as a dupplicate: Apport’s informations may be more precise if they are from the right version.
