As mentioned, this code uses a :set which is a bad idea.  So I see no point
in trying that out before you try out a simpler code.  When simple code
doesn't do what one wants, it's clearly a bug.  When convoluted code behaves
strange, it's never really clear whether it's a bug in Emacs or in the
convoluted code.

How?  Where?  Those details are very important.

Which file?  How do you ensure it's loaded?  Again, those details
are very important.
