emacs -Q
(defun foo (&optional n)
(interactive "*p")
(picture-mode)
(picture-open-line n)
(picture-move-down n)
(picture-mode-exit 'keep))
In *scratch*, put point on some text near the middle of the
first line.
M-3 M-x foo
The inserted blank lines are all empty, except the last one.
I believe this is the correct behavior. Even though a prefix
arg is used, whitespace-only lines other than the one point
is on have all of their whitespace removed.
You can choose to describe this behavior differently than
I did. But I think you will admit that the current
description is inaccurate, here.
