eldoc mode hangs emacs when fetching information to show in echo


I am fairly new to emacs and have been using Haskell mode and writing .hs scripts in emacs. I have noticed that it freezes whilst fetching information to show in the echo bar.

Disabling global-eldoc-mode seems to fix this. I am sure this is not a problem everyone faces and I would like to be able to keep eldoc enabled since I appreciate all the help recently having picked up Haskell. Any ideas of how to approach this problem?

I am running emacs 26.2 and am running Haskell mode from downloaded from melpa.org.

I would appreciate any comments/ help, Thanks


Solution

  • This is a late answer, but I had the same issue, and after some trial and error I figured it out: simply turn off the "Haskell Doc Prettify Types" setting. Probably some sort of issue with Unicode characters.
