After doing an some emacs packages updates, every time a new file is opened the buffer has whitespace mode turned on. I see red on all the whitespace at the start of lines. I've tried disabling whitespace-mode, but can't change this behavior from happening on every new buffer.
Is there someway to make sure whitespace-mode is disabled on new buffers?
global-whitspace-mode? Try a word search for that function in your packages or user configuration and perhaps you'll find that it has been enabled. – lawlist Mar 6 '16 at 15:25M-x describe-modeand update your question by listing all of the minor-modes that are active in the buffer just after opening it. Ifwhitespace-modeis enabled, there two usual methods:(global-whitespace-mode 1)or(whitespace-mode 1). If you don't have either one of those somewhere in your setup, then I'm out of ideas. I suppose there could be a derived-mode like text-mode or prog-mode, which has something like(whitespace-mode 1)attached to a derived major-mode hook -- but that is certainly less common. – lawlist Mar 7 '16 at 20:42global-whitespace-modeand a little ws for buffer-localwhitespace-mode. – lawlist Mar 7 '16 at 20:47
