Ah, okay. That makes sense to me. So I'll either have to be
consistent with empty lines (using or not using them), or I'll
have to adjust org-blank-before-new-entry.

Also, I just noticed that this is explained in the FAQ:

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#blank-line-after-headlines-and-list-items

Sorry for not having looked there before asking.

[O] Annoying empty line after M-RET / C-RET

[Volker Grabsch]

Dear Org-Mode Gurus,

I noticed some strange behaviour in Org Mode. I'm not sure
if this happens for a good reason, or is simply a bug.
Either way, it's pretty annoying.

Normally, C-RET inserts a new empty headline directly after
the previous one, i.e.


Stuff
* Head 1_


[C-RET]


Stuff
* Head 1
* _


(where underscore _ denotes the cursor)

However, if the headline is preceded by an empty line,
for whathever reason, the C-RET and M-RET commands
add an extra newline:


Stuff

* Head 1_


[C-RET]


Stuff

* Head 1

* _


This is especially annoying when quickly typing notes
into a small set of headers.

A similar behaviour occurs at deeper levels as well.
Also, this happens if there's a previous entry that
ends with an empty line (i.e. it doesn't have to happen
at the first headline entry).

Is this a bug? Does it happen for a good reason (if so,
what's the use case)? Can this be turned off?


Thanks,
Volker
