Hi all,

When the capture template ends with a newline character and the capture 
process is canceled, the following heading gets demoted. And it 
shouldn’t.


Consider the following scenario. We have an agenda file with the 
following content:

#+name: ~/org/agenda.org
#+begin_src org
,* Capture

,* Following heading

#+end_src

We start ~emacs -Q~, and do some basic setup:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(package-initialize)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c c") 'org-capture)
(setq org-agenda-files
      '("~/org/agenda.org"))
(setq org-refile-targets
      '((org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 2)))
(setq org-capture-templates
      '(("t" "TODO entry" entry
         (file+headline "~/org/agenda.org" "Capture")
         "* TODO %?\n")))
#+end_src

Now we start capture with "C-c c t" and cancel it with "C-c 
k". Examination of "agenda.org" will show:

#+name: ~/org/agenda.org
#+begin_src org
,* Capture
,** Following heading

#+end_src

Both the line between them is gone, and "* Following heading" got 
demoted, which is particularly unfortunate.

I’m not sure that I found a general rule in this respect.  I had met 
this effect before in my workflow and vaguely associated it with a 
trailing "\n".  Investigating it further, I could find a recipe to 
reproduce the effect, as shown, but I don’t really know how general it 
is.

This effect does not occur if "\n" is removed from the template, and I 
don’t know if its inclusion is to be considered bad practice, 
particularly as the capture templates already have a structure to handle 
empty lines.  But, if my memory does not betray me in this respect, one 
will find plenty of those laying around in folks configs.


Best regards,
Gustavo Barros.
