[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

I find this regression from emacs 26.1. It can be very easily reproduced in
emacs -Q:

1. emacs -Q
2. Press C-q C-l in the scratch buffer (this will insert the  ^L character)
3. Now hit RET, that character will go away.
3-alternative: Select a region that contains that ^L char and do C-M-\
(indent-region). That char will get deleted again.

This regression is evident in all my emacs-lisp packages, because the ^L
chars used to separate the sections disappear when I auto-indent the whole
package.
