Nope, fill-region still exhibits the same behaviour. Here is a block of text that will reproduce this strange behaviour: aaaaaa aaaa aaa aaaaaaaaaa aa aaaaa aaaaaa a aaaaa aaaa aaaaaaaa aa bbbbbbbbb. aaaaaaa aa aaaaaa aa aaaaaa aaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, a aaa aa aaaa aaa aaa aaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaaa aaa a aaaa aaaa aaaaaa aaaa aaa aaa aaaaaaaa. aaa a aaaa aaaa aaa. If you do fill-paragraph on that text, the word bbbbbbbbb is not moved to the first line like it should be. If you remove the line break before this word so that you have a long line, you will get: aaaaaa aaaa aaa aaaaaaaaaa aa aaaaa aaaaaa a aaaaa aaaa aaaaaaaa aa bbbbbbbbb. aaaaaaa aa aaaaaa aa aaaaaa aaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, a aaa aa aaaa aaa aaa aaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaaa aaa a aaaa aaaa aaaaaa aaaa aaa aaa aaaaaaaa. aaa a aaaa aaaa aaa. If you do fill-paragraph on this block of text, it will return it to the original example, which is in error. Yet, and this is most peculiar, if you add the line break after the word bbbbbbbbb, and then do fill paragraph, it will correctly leave it alone. aaaaaa aaaa aaa aaaaaaaaaa aa aaaaa aaaaaa a aaaaa aaaa aaaaaaaa aa bbbbbbbbb. aaaaaaa aa aaaaaa aa aaaaaa aaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, a aaa aa aaaa aaa aaa aaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaaa aaa a aaaa aaaa aaaaaa aaaa aaa aaa aaaaaaaa. aaa a aaaa aaaa aaa. Each of these examples uses: (custom-set-variables '(fill-column 80)) Thanks, -- Noah Slater, http://tumbolia.org/nslater -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
