Yes, this is true. Happens to me as well. The filling is different when using auto-fill and writing as compared with fill-paragraph afterwards.

One step at a time... ;-) Filling appears to be a somewhat stochastic process although I'm sure it isn't! Having said this, I have now moved completely to org-indent with visual-line-mode and I no longer need to fill anything, when in org mode as opposed to message mode like this email... -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 24.3.50.1, Org release_8.1.1-7-gaecdf5
