Longlines fuses words together after kill/yank

Longlines fuses words together after kill/yank

[Guym]

With Emacs 22.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) and the longlines provided I find
that when I kill a line and then yank it back (either in the same place, or
somewhere else in the document) I get words fused together.

For example, suppose these are lines broken by a longlines softline break
(where I originally typed a space):

This is an example
of lines broken by
a softline.

Then if I kill the paragraph or one line and yank it back I might get
`example' and `of' fused together into `exampleof', or perhaps `by' and `a.'

This seems to occur in all the modes I tried, though the problem does
disappear when longlines-auto-wrap is turned off. Is there anything less
extreme I can do?

Thanks!

what package is longlines-auto-wrap-off from?
All I have is longlines-mode as interactive function

There seems to be something a bit wrong somewhere.
My emacs doesn't do this.

Have you tried to find out the meaning of this variable? Or of  
longlines-mode? Doesn't the *Help* buffer provide information where  
the variable comes from? If so, it would be a bug.

Thanks. Longlines is now shipped with gnu emacs. There's a good general
description on emacs wiki: 
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs-en/LongLines 

The mode documentation is as follows:

Longlines minor mode (indicator ll):
Toggle Long Lines mode.
In Long Lines mode, long lines are wrapped if they extend beyond
`fill-column'.  The soft newlines used for line wrapping will not
show up when the text is yanked or saved to disk.

If the variable `longlines-auto-wrap' is non-nil, lines are automatically
wrapped whenever the buffer is changed.  You can always call
`fill-paragraph' to fill individual paragraphs.

If the variable `longlines-show-hard-newlines' is non-nil, hard newlines
are indicated with a symbol.



longlines-auto-wrap toggles automatic wrapping of paragraphs as you type (or
otherwise make changes, e.g. by yanking the paragraph). If it's off the
paragraph just appears as one long line with these wrapping arrows at the
end, but that's hard to read for text files (e.g. latex). With auto wrap off
it's still possible to request wrapping of paragraphs after you type them,
but that's not very convenient. The normal use is meant to be with auto
wrapping on, but then I have this problem with words fusing after kill/yank.

yes, it's a software error created by whoever coded lonelines-mode.

it's a major pain in the ass. I have also reported the problem here
before. I have basically now abandoned using longelines-mode.

i'm not sure what you can do to work around this... but thanks for
bringing attention to it.

not solving your problem, but i've written essays on this issue you
