emacs-app @24.5_3+inline: Emacs hangs when I edit LaTeX files (Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'nextEventMatchingMask should only be called from the Main Thread!')

[iqgrande]

Greetings:

My Emacs app has been hanging on my ever since I updated to macOS Sierra (I followed the instructions on Migrating and re-built everything from scratch including emacs-app). When it hangs, I am able to obtain the following error.

Google helped me find Emacs bug 23924 ​https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2016-07/msg01177.html, which appears to be this issue as well. Within that thread, a developer, I think, created a patch and it appears to have been verified to work. I think the patch was for 25.1.50. Any assistance you can provide would be much appreciated. It's possible that updating the port from 24.5 to 25.1 may fix this issue if the patch had been applied. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. Thank you for your help with this.

Kind regards, Anthony

I haven't tested on Sierra yet; is this still an issue with 25.1?

It appears to be working fine now. Please close the ticket for now and if the issue comes back, then we can re-open it. Thank you for updating the port.

Great, thanks for the update.
