‘org-fill-paragraph’ does not correctly handle ^L characters
(a.k.a. form feed, C-q C-l). It should treat them as paragraph
separating whitespace, but instead treats them as any other
character which would appear in normal text. Here is an example
to demonstrate the current behaviour:
abc def
^L
ghi jkl
In org-mode, with point at the beginning or the end of the first
or last line, doing ‘org-fill-paragraph’ (M-q) should do nothing,
because the lines are already shorter than the fill-column. What
really happens is that I end up with one line which looks like:
abc def ^L def ghi
In text-mode, ‘fill-paragraph’ does handle ^L characters
correctly, and pressing M-q anywhere in the first example results
in no change being made to the buffer.
