Re: bibtex-clean-entry indents badly when splitting long lines

[Tim Hesterberg]

Thanks for checking.

My apology - there were some additional relevant things in my .emacs:

(setq bibtex-entry-format '(opts-or-alts required-fields numerical-fields 
realign last-comma))
(add-hook 'bibtex-mode-hook
          '(lambda ()
             (setq fill-prefix nil); prevent C-o from indenting
             ))

It is setting the fill-prefix to nil that appears to cause this.

I set the fill-prefix to nil to prevent C-o open-line from indenting.
I'll look for another way to do that.
