I don't really have an answer regarding *why*, but I have this in my .emacs that seems to work with either spaces at the end of your example above (fills the current line) or with M-x fill-region. Want to try that? Maybe the new org requires manually setting fill options? #+begin_src .emacs ;; change 80 to whatever you prefer (setq-default fill-column 80) (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill) #+end_src Hope that helps!
