Hi Denny,

Thanks for testing. I can reproduce the error here now. I will try to 
look into it.

It seems like this has something to do with the splash screen. If I turn

off the splash screen the problem disappears.

To turn off it do

    M-x customize-option RET
    Customize variable: inhibit-splash-screen

and then set inhibit-splash-screen to "on" and save the value.

Does the problem disappear for you if you do this?
