Yes, with pop-up-windows set to nil, I can reproduce it too. The problem is that truncate-lines is set to t inside org-insert-link. When I comment that out, I get the behavior you expect. The question is: why is truncate-lines set to t? I don't know the answer to that, but it seems to be unnecessary: I think it could be let-bound instead or explicitly reset to its former value afterwards. The problems described by Samuel in the link you provided may be caused by the same setting, but I haven't looked in detail. Nick
