Narrow it down yourself first, please.  Start with `emacs -Q'
(no init file).  Add whatever else you need to do to repro the
problem, noting explicitly each thing that is _necessary_ to
repro it, in an explicit, step-by-step recipe.  Post only that,
instead of a typescript file full of who-knows-what.

If you don't see the problem when you start with just `emacs -Q'
then you can recursively bisect your init file to locate what
is causing the problem.  You can do that by commenting out 1/2,
then 3/4, 7/8,... of the file and restarting Emacs each time.

Doing that, you might well discover for yourself what the
problem is and how to fix it.  More importantly, you will have
located the problem: narrowed it down and given others a way
to repro it instead of having to guess all that you might have
done.
