Org Koma Letter export return args-out-of-range error

Question

After updating my system I get the error at the bottom when exporting C-c C-e C-s (cursor on My Subject). Can someone explain me the error message in order to solve the problem?

As the project page states, the project has bugs and the maintainer does not have enough time to fix them. I would suggest that you find the place in your init file(s) where you add the function global-vim-lines-mode-enable-in-buffers to the after-change-major-mode-hook hook variable. It probably looks something like this:

(add-hook 'after-change-major-mode-hook #'global-vim-lines-mode-enable-in-buffers)

Just delete this line. If you want to try removing it temporarily to check that it is indeed the culprit, you can eval the following expression (perhaps in your *scratch* buffer):

(remove-hook 'after-change-major-mode-hook #'global-vim-lines-mode-enable-in-buffers)

But I really think that you should remove it permanently: buggy packages do not become bug-free with time unless somebody is working actively on the bugs. This does not seem to be the case here.

Edit: I checked the package and it does not seem to be adding the function to the hook. At this point, I would try emacs -Q (or its doom equivalent: I assume there is one but I don't know for sure) and check the after-change-major-mode-hook to make sure that it does not contain global-vim-lines... by default. Then do the same thing with emacs -q. If in both of these cases the hook does not contain the global-vim-lines... function, then it's got to be in your init file(s). Search for the hook and/or the function separately and see what you come up with.
