refill-mode disables spacebar?

refill-mode disables spacebar?

[Edward Dodge]

I recently compiled EMACS for OSX off the CVS tree TWICE.  Once from
the most recent code,  and another time from the code from November
1, 2002.

GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin5.5)

Everything seems to be working fine,  but when I put this:

(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'refill-mode)

In my .emacs,  the spacebar refuses to work in .txt files:

"Nowisthetimeforallgoodmenttocometotheaidoftheircountry."

If I edit within a paragraph that already has spaces,  refill works
just fine and spaces are inserted correctly.  Any ideas out there?

I've seen this bug before.  Why is it back?  Weird.  Maybe you have
to fix refill.el to abstain from filling after space is entered, to
to re-add the space if it was deleted.

Try adding a LF before you type anything.  I have seen this before as
well and a blank line below where I'm typing fixes it.

Wow.  That appears to work!  ^o before I start seems to "fix"
whatever is wrong.

I did some more testing by using different efill.el packages,  but I
think the problem is with the EMACS build.  For example:  an
efill.elc that works fine in a pre-compiled EMACS 21.1.30.3 exhibits
the same problem here in 21.3.50.1 from the CVS tree.

I know there's a CVS version from last October that doesn't interfere
with efill,  but I'm going to take Kai's advice and see if there
isn't something I can do with the efill.el file first.  Maybe slip a
(open-line 1) (undo 1) pair in there as a kludge.
