Please try "emacs -q" (lower-case "q", not "Q"). If the problem
happens with -q as well, then its cause is somewhere in all those
site-start.d/50*.el files Emacs loads at startup -- those come from
your system's Emacs distro.
If the problem doesn't happen with -q, then its cause is in your init
file, ~/.emacs.
