`C-x k` to kill a buffer -> empty mini frame, `Args out of range: 27678, 1, 1` message on gutter

[stradicat]

Description

When pressing C-x k to kill buffer, an empty mini frame pops up at the bottom of the Emacs window, Args out of range: 27678, 1, 1 message on gutter.

Reproduction guide 🪲

• Start Emacs
• Open a file, for example SPC f e d to open the dotfile

Observed behaviour: 👀 💔
An empty mini frame pops up at the bottom of the Emacs window, Args out of range: 27678, 1, 1 message on gutter.

Expected behaviour: ❤️ 😄
Buffer is killed without any side effects.

Could it be that the helm package has refactored or introduced new/different methods?

I had a very similar problem this week too, when I try to SPC a d (dired). After some digging, and looking at the stack trace, I found that if (spacemacs/toggle-indent-guide-globally-on) is used, it will cause Args out of range in helm-mini buffer.

I commented out (spacemacs/toggle-indent-guide-globally-on) in my spacemacs configuration, and it is working again.

That worked 😃
Thanks for the suggestion

Perhaps this might be related to a recent update in the indent-guide package? Have you tried rolling back package upgrades to see if that fixes the issue without disabling indent-guide-mode?
