bug#36107: Global Buttons Stop Functioning When Current Working Directory Changes (Forgot the Subject!)

[Bemiller, Eric Timothy]

I didn't reply all on the below -- whoops!

I'm laughing here, because I've been on your side of conversations like this a 
dozen times.

Unfortunately, I don't use git. The two files I sent over come from the code 
that's installed by the package manager directly. To get them, I moved my 
actual `.emacs.d` folder somewhere else, created a new `.emacs.d` folder 
containing an init that had only this in it:

(require 'package)
      (setq package-enable-at-startup nil) ;; Prevent double loading of 
libraries
      (package-initialize)
      (unless (package-installed-p 'hyperbole)
        (package-refresh-contents)
        (package-install 'hyperbole))
      (require 'hyperbole)

And then started Emacs as normal.

I tested this exact procedure again this morning, and although for whatever 
reason I got a couple of bad signature errors from elpa.gnu.org, the same set 
of files with the same missing stuff came down.

I swear I'm not *trying* to be frustrating! Sorry!

Addition: I checked the savannah link that's on the Hyperbole page 
(https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hyperbole.git/tree/, linked from the "ftp 
and git" section) and the `hypb.el` in there seems to be the same incomplete 
one I'm getting from the package manager:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hyperbole.git/tree/hbut.el 

Thanks again for looking into all this stuff!

Sure thing -- hopefully they're attached. These are a fresh download from 
elpa.gnu.org<http://elpa.gnu.org>

Ok, that helped show what is going on.  You apparently are not downloading 
release 7.0.3 but the head of the elpa git tree which includes a bunch of 
additional changes that Stefan M. made for potential future use, as you can see 
here:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=emacs/elpa.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/externals/hyperbole

So instead, don't use any form of git, just install Hyperbole from the package 
manager after getting rid of all other versions and you will get version 7.0.3 
(confirmed today).  Then apply that one patch I sent you.
