Emacs is freezing when trying to insert a class attribute comment when it's not at the end. E.g.,

class Foo:
   _bar: int
   """Some attribute."""
   _biz: int
   """Another attribute."""

I cannot edit the above to create the below

class Foo:
   _bar: int
   """Some attribute."""
   _bat: int
   """I can type the 2 quotes but the 3rd causes a freeze!!"""
   _biz: int
   """Another attribute."""

but I can add one at the very end, e.g.,

class Foo:
   _bar: int
   """Some attribute."""
   _biz: int
   """Another attribute."""
   _winning: int
   """This works!"""

This happens both with and without the -Q option. Has anyone else ever seen this behavior? Toubleshooting steps are much appreciated!!

    I added your comment to the question (where all relevant information should be added - comments are for questions and minor clarifications). If you want, you can delete the comment now. – NickD Oct 20 '22 at 02:12
  • i'm also seeing an issue with python and quotes in 28.2, although not exactly the same scenario. found this bug report: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2023-01/msg01702.html – jdigital Mar 30 '23 at 14:43
  • Starting Emacs with the --debug-on-error might help trace the problem. There are other options for triggering debugging too, to --debug-on-{event,message,next-call,quit,signal}. – slackline Jan 07 '24 at 18:50

Not sure of the actual issue which causes this but since this question I've moved to Emacs 29 installed via Homebrew's emacs-plus@29 and am not seeing the issue.
