Hello.

I have been using emacs for a while, and there seems to be one change 
that is giving me some trouble with LaTeX documents: in previous 
versions of Emacs, when justifying text after a comment, the text got 
justified without being commented. That is, if the cursor is on "bar" in 
the following text:

% foo
bar

and I hit Alt-Q, nothing happens (I just verified it on Emacs 21.4.1). 
On my new laptop, with Emacs 23.1.1, the result of the same operation 
would be

% foo bar

which is not what I wanted since I just wanted to justify the text from 
"bar" on. If I separate the two initial lines, clearly this doesn't 
happen, but it would also create a new paragraph. I was wondering if 
this is a feature or if there is any way to have it behave as it used to.

Thanks very much in advance.
Regards,
Pietro Belotti

This cannot be reproduced on 23.2 with the original latex-mode (must use
'emacs -Q' to start) as included in emacs or the one provided by AUCTeX
(version "2010-05-17" in my case).

Please update to Emacs 23.2. This is a duplicate of
