See the bug report for a concrete example. 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.
