Package: elvis
Version: 2.2.0-3
Severity: normal
The behaviour of the { and } movement commands in elvis 2.2.0 is
inconsistent with that described in the 2.2.0 documentation, as well as
with previous versions (up to 2.1.4). Specifically, while the documentation
states that:
count {
count }
These commands move backward or forward to the start of a
paragraph. The start of a paragraph is defined to be the first
blank line encountered after a non-blank line; or a line which
contains a troff paragraph command listed in the paragraphs
option's value; or the start of a section as described below.
...
The start of a section is defined to be '{' character
in column 1 of a line; or a troff section command listed in the
value of the sections option.
and previous versions behaved in this manner, version 2.2.0 considers
any '{' character encountered on a line beginning with a non-whitespace
character to be the beginning of a section, even if the '{' is not in
column 1.
e.g.:
This { is considered to be a start-of-section.
This { is not.
