Hi fellows, do you feel this is an actual org-mode bug (reported in Debian, #685348) ?
When I start a list like * List 1. a very long item 1, so long that it reaches into the right margin 2. item 2 and I have auto-fill-mode turned on, the first item is split into two or more lines as * List 1. a very long item 1, so long that it reaches into the right margin 2. item 2 The problem is that the second line of the first item is no longer part of the list! I expected the line to be split with additional spaces as * List 1. a very long item 1, so long that it reaches into the right margin 2. item 2 so that item 1 is an ordinary item with two lines. This is annoying, as it is not easy (or I haven't found yet) a simple way to indent correctly that second line. A simple <TAB> doesn't work, so I have to move to the beginning of the line and add a couple of spaces. Furthermore, this used to work with emacs-23 and its support for org-mode until I installed the package org-mode. (I installed the package to get the info documentation). Sorry if this is not a bug and this odd behavior can be configured away, but I couldn't find how. Cheers, --Seb
