Hi Matt,

personally, I never use visual-line-mode, mainly because cursor motion
becomes unpredictable to me (down doe not get me into the next line,
so for example keyboard macros are much harder to make to consistently).

That said, I would expect that what you are describing should work,
and my memory is also that it used to work - after all, I implemented
not only line-prefix, but also wrap-prefix in org-indent-mode.  I am
quite sure that this used to work.

I am not sure how to proceed.  Someone would have to bisect Emacs to
find which commit changed this behavior.   Or maybe at lease someone
can try with a vanilla 23.1 Emacs? If it works there, we might have
enough to file a bug report.


I just tried it on the ubuntu karmic emacs23 packages.  I get the same
behaviour i was seeing before. In case my description is misleading, i
just made a couple of screenshots and posted them here:
http://www.derailleur.org/screenshots/
one shows some quick text when indent-mode is enabled, the other shows
it with indent-mode disabled.

anyway if you have any ideas how i might help that'd be great --
bisecting the code is probably beyond what i can easily do but i could
try to dig around a bit somehow.

thanks - i appreciate how much effort you put into this carsten! -

It clearly seems to me that this is a problem with the Emacs redisplay engine. Because when I press C-l (control-ell) several times, than the line actually
snaps into visual line mode.....
