From: "Miguel V. S. Frasson" <mvsfrasson <at> gmail.com> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: 26.3; Visual-line-mode produces fake newline if line begins with space Date: Sat, 27 Feb 2021 13:30:23 -0300
Hi.
In visual-line-mode, if after leading whitespace it follows very long
text without spaces, it occurs a visual line break after the leading
whitespace, creating an false blank line, annoying users because extra
blank lines may change the meaning of text.
It would be more sensible in visual-line-mode forbids visual line breaks
after leading whitespace, because they always create blank lines.
How to reproduce:
a) emacs -Q
b) type some text without spaces but *with leading spaces*, like
1-Aaaaaaaaaa
2-Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
c) M-x visual-line-moded.
d) Result: visual linebreak after " " on line 2, creating blank
line. No gain, because one still gets long line displayed.
1-Aaaaaaaaaa
2-Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
e) Proposal: keep leading space together with following long text.
Best regards
Miguel.
