TypeError: options is undefined

[dkns]

Sometimes when I press G or gg I get this error:

resource://dactyl/buffer.jsm: 1634: TypeError: options is undefined

and nothing happens (i.e. page stays the same, no movement). Not sure what is causing it. It seems to happen randomly. It goes away after I change tab and do some browsing.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you debug this.

Edit: Apparently there is a pull request for this #8

I'm having this too. In addition to G and gg, any page navigation (e.g. PgUp/Dn) stops working too. The simplest workaround for me has been to open and close a new tab. Don't know what triggers it though.

I can confirm this. To get page navigation working again, I usually enter and leave command mode (by pressing ":" and "ESC").

This tends to trigger after opening/closing a new window or private mode for me.

I'm running hg7190 and the line number in slightly different:

resource://dactyl/buffer.jsm: 1632: TypeError: options is undefined

I've been using @davho's workaround since I read it here a few weeks ago and it works every time.

Confirm this still occurs on FF38 with current nightly.
System is osx 10.10.

I'm having this as well, and can confirm that opening command mode fixes the issue. I'm running Firefox ESR (currently 31.5.3) with pentadactyl built from master (currently befd0d8) on Ubuntu 12.04.5.

Still happening, running most recently nightly with FF 41.

[wichtounet]

I can confirm this is also the case for FF42 and the last version (from sources) of pentadactyl.

How to fix it, thanks

[gmdfalk]

Happens for me, too. Newest firefox, newest nightly. The pull request in #8 fixes the error for me.
Can i ask why it hasn't been merged yet?
I have recreated the pull request for your convenience under #126.

This is still an issue with Firefox 46, Dactyl nightly 2016-05-03. Unfortunately, the workarounds no longer work: I need to restart Firefox to get it working again, and sometimes it happens immediately upon opening, so I restart four or five times before I can use it.
