Is this possibly connected with the small bug that I reported a while ago?

I enclose the text of my old report:

---------------------

I've noticed a little bug when auto-fill operates on a line finishing with a "%". To reproduce:

1. Activate auto-fill-mode in a tex file with LaTeX mode.

2. Set fill-column to some value; here I use 20.

3. Suppose you have a line like this:

123456789% commented

4. Now you'd like to add some more text right before the "%", eg "-1234567890 abc".

Note that "123456789-1234567890" is twenty characters long, so auto-fill should automatically insert a newline as we type the space after "0". Expected result:

123456789-1234567890
abc% commented


Instead I get this:

123456789-1234567890
% abccommented

That is, my text has been continued  *within* the comment, which wasn't my intention


– Further info:

A. If the text before the comment is *already longer* than auto-fill-column when I type the space, and if auto-fill can carry some previous text to the new line, then everything works correctly. For example, If I have

123456789% commented

And now I type " 1234567890X abc" (note: space instead of "-") right before the "%", I get

123456789
1234567890X abc% commented

as desired.

B. The length of the text after "%" seems to be irrelevant for the issue.
