org-capture doesn't narrow correctly if :prepend is t

org-capture doesn't narrow correctly if :prepend is t

[Adam Spiers]

I have an org-capture template as follows:

 ("n" "personal NEXT" entry
  (file "~/org/TODO.org")
  "* NEXT %?" :prepend t)

but after I hit `C-c C-c', the file's buffer stays narrowed, with the
new entry invisible.  Anyone who didn't notice the presence of
'Narrow' in the modeline would be convinced that the capture
completely failed.  It can be revealed via `C-u C-x n w', but of
course it's annoying having to do this every time.

The problem vanishes as soon as I de-select the :prepend flag.  It's
been an issue for a while, so I guess I'm the only one using this
flag?

Thanks!
Adam

Judging by the lack of response, it seems noone else uses :prepend :-/
It's enough of an itch that I am happy to scratch / fix it myself, but
it would be great if someone could give me a few quick pointers on how
org-capture uses narrowing - otherwise it could take me quite a lot of
time and pain to understand it by myself ...

Thanks!
Adam

Hi Adam,

it is in my queue, but I have not yet had time to look at it.

Oh great, thanks a lot Carsten!  I can wait patiently - even with a wait,
you can almost certainly fix it quicker than I could ;-)

I always use prepend and don't notice this problem, if that helps.

Which it probably doesn't, but just in case.
