<div dir="ltr">Alas I spoke too soon, and my problem is still there. So it is back to the cafe, looking for suggestions. Here is my problem in more detail:<div><br></div><div> - I am running a windows system. (note Windows, not Unix, Linux, OS X, or any other Unix-a-like).</div><div><br></div><div> - I have a clean emacs installation - only thing I have done is to install haskell-mode using the install-package function.</div><div><br></div><div> - I start-up interactive haskell mode (C-c interactive-haskell-mode, C-c C-l (and I get a parsing complaint, but we ignore that)).</div><div><br></div><div>[at this point I have a live haskell process that I can interact with]</div><div><br></div><div> - I load my file (not large) into haskell.</div><div><br></div><div> - Emacs starts persisting in telling me in the Echo region the type of the term under the cursor - all the time - and locks down to do this.</div><div><br></div><div> - The type report uses unicode text to do this (note that if I ask for the type with C-c C-t or C-c C-i, I also get the type, but using ascii characters, so it does not appear to be the same functionality that is being triggered - if I turn off haskell-doc then the problem continues).</div><div><br></div><div>Anybody any suggestions, recognise this problem, or even just an address where I can submit a bug report?</div><div>I cannot be the only person trying to work with haskell mode on windows.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div><div>Sean Matthews</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Nov 5, 2017 at 8:24 PM, Sean Matthews <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:seanmatthews1@gmail.com" target="_blank">seanmatthews1@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Problem fixed.

In spacemacs+intero C-c C-t (or C-c C-i) takes anywhere between 1 to 10 sec for me. Something in your setup has made this lookup automatic. It's trying to determine the type as your browse around your source code. Do you have any idea what could have caused that?</div><div><br></div><div>You could try one more thing. Try delivering a SIGUSR2 to the Emacs process when it's stuck. It will stop doing whatever is holding it up and drop you into some sort of a debugger. That can give you some clues about what is causing this behaviour in your setup.</div><span class="m_3055799512688125263HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>-- Saurabh.</div></font></span></div>
