I also get this error in a ruby buffer while trying ido-goto-symbol:

The turning minor mode on / off long standing problem has been fixed in emacs CVS.

In text-mode-hook especially, I had problems where visual line mode was being turned on then off in the hooks.

I know about that command for goto-line; I just thought it should be shorter.

Maybe I’m beeing stupid but why don’t you just use
(add-hook ‘dired-mode-hook ‘auto-revert-mode)
(add-hook ‘text-mode-hook ‘visual-line-mode)?
Or maybe I’m just not getting your point…
cheers, s

goto-line is already mapped to a very similar shortcut :
“”"
M-g M-g runs the command goto-line, which is an interactive compiled
Lisp function in `simple.el’.

It is bound to M-g g, M-g M-g, .

Liked the ido-goto-symbol very useful !!!
strangely in emacs23
I think the last line is wrong

[[(if (markerp position)
(goto-char position) (goto-char (overlay-start position)))]]

the overlay start position doesn’t work in python mode for example
so why not just make the (goto-char position) without the if ?
