A more recent debian package for stable/testing would be helpful for items on my todo list). 1) Start emacs -Q -nw 2) In the scratch buffer 3) M-x set-fill-column 10 4) Enable auto-fill-mode 5) Type two spaces 6) Type about twenty single character words At this point everything looks good; we have several indented lines of a paragraph. 7) Type return to end the paragraph I'm now getting the final line, that had prior been properly indented, now re-aligned / out-dented to column 1. -- hkp://keys.gnupg.net CA45 09B5 5351 7C11 A9D1 7286 0036 9E45 1595 8BC0 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

You are in Lisp Interaction mode, which has its own indentation rules. Try this in Fundamental mode, and you will see the behavior you expect, I think. IOW, I don't think there's a bug here. But if there is a bug, please tell what behavior you expected and why. To investigate this further, note that electric-indent-mode is ON, and see the doc string shown by "C-h k RET". ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

The default contents of the scratch buffer read: "This buffer is for text that is not saved ..." so any newcomer to emacs gets the indication that _text_ typed here will be treated as text (and yes lisp typed here will be treated as lisp), and people expect text paragraphs not to have their final line be out-dented *after* completion. Any newcomer to emacs will clearly consider this a bug. I also do consider it a bug. > To investigate this further, note that electric-indent-mode is ON That speaks to the choice of how to classify the bug, not whether it is a bug. Maybe you'll consider it a bug in that mode, or in auto-fill mode, or in lisp-interaction-mode, or in the setup of the scratch buffer, or in the relationship between those three modes, or in the default comment of that buffer, or in something else. I don't have a suggestion either way, only the observation that the behavior is unexpected, counter-intuitive, and annoying. -- hkp://keys.gnupg.net CA45 09B5 5351 7C11 A9D1 7286 0036 9E45 1595 8BC0 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

It says ;; This buffer is for text that is not saved, and for Lisp evaluation. so the user should be expecting this to be a non-normal (i.e., not a text-mode) buffer. So I agree with Eli -- this isn't a bug, and I'm closing this bug report. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
