I heard that Emacs 23 will be released soon so I'd like to ask Emacs
maintainers or release managers to consider fixing bug #3437 before the
release:
http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3437
The bug report even has a patch attached.
The bug is about kill-visual-line command behaving unexpectedly when
executed at the end of a logical line. I think everybody would expect it
to delete only the newline, like kill-line does, but kill-visual-line
deletes not only the newline character but also the next line up to the
cursor position. See the bug report for a concrete example.
I use visual-line-mode with all text modes. Hence I also use
kill-visual-line (C-k) a lot. I think people with similar habits will
notice this bug in no time.

Aaah, so that's the reason for some of the half-sentences I produced
recently! Seems I'm so sure about the behavior of C-k that I just
remove the newline and jump elsewhere, without realizing that too much
is deleted.
In other words, this has caused me data loss (text loss) and will now
slow down my typing speed until a fix is in.

I felt exactly the same when I found this thread. I recently finished
my master thesis and way too often did I find only the second half of
sentences in AUCTeX. I thought I accidentally hit some modifier before
C-k causing this behavior... That being said, I think this bug should
have the highest possible priority.

The function kill-visual-line is not very well implemented, I think.
I'll see what I can do.

I've checked in a fixed-up version of kill-visual-line into CVS. Please
test it and see if there are any problems.

Thank you! It works as I expect it to work.
Also, thanks for anybody who took part in implementing visual-line-mode
and its parts. It's great.

Yup, it makes using emacs to edit text for pasting in other apps a lot nicer...
[longlines-mode never quite seemed as seamless, tho I don't remember the
details]
