I’m running into an issue where Emacs (Spacemacs if relevant) would complain about invalid UTF-8 characters in the temp file buffer that was generated when saving a file I was editing with EPA. Telling me to select a fallback coding system.
These default coding systems were tried to encode the following problematic characters in the buffer ‘ *temp file*’:
Coding System Pos Codepoint Char
utf-8 1 #x3FFF84 �
...
I don’t think this makes sense, obviously the encrypted file would have bad UTF-8 characters but why would Emacs complain about this? This file is an org-mode file that was encrypted with GPG. The warning pops up reliably a few seconds after I save, and sporadically when I’m editing. It is making it unusable because it pops up even after I select an option.
Any suggestion on where I could even begin to try fixing this?
I also had this, git-gutter caused it. I switched to hl-diff, it doesn’t have this problem.
Tried switching to hl-diff, still happens sadly
