Symptoms: I wanted to compare two versions of a file, an old version with lines broken according to `fill-column' and a new version using long lines so that I had enabled longlines-mode for the new version of the file. Unfortunately, it seems to me that ediff and longlines-mode do not like each other.
Here is a simple example (tested with emacs --no-init-file) cat > foo <<EOF foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz EOF cat > bar <<EOF foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz EOF Visit the files foo and bar. Enable longlines-mode for buffer foo. Then apply ediff-buffers. Roland PS: longlines-auto-wrap is a command and a variable. Shouldn't the second paragraph of the docstring of longlines-mode begin If the variable `longlines-auto-wrap' is non-nil, ... Same with the last sentence of the docstring of longlines-mode refering to the variable longlines-show-hard-newlines.
