Hi all,

I'm writing to confirm that this is still present in GNU Emacs
25.1.50.1.  To make it a bit more precise: the OP means M-q with point
on either the 3rd line of the script (i.e., the line beginning with "#
display"), which works fine, and then M-q on the fourth line (i.e., the
line beginning with "echo"), which breaks as described below.

Best,
Marcin Borkowski
