Lexical binding: If you've recently updated to Emacs 31, you might have gotten warnings about lexical-binding in your packages or personal Emacs Lisp configuration. You can check your packages to see if the package authors have updated them. For your personal Emacs Lisp configuration, consider adding

;;; -*- lexical-binding: t -*-

to the top line. If that makes your code stop working correctly when you restart Emacs, set it to nil instead with:

;;; -*- lexical-binding: nil -*-

to get it to work for now. Additional resources:
