Hello,
I use a system of indented note-taking where each separate note is a
paragraph with a hanging indent of 1 space, and the whole paragraph is
indented by some even number of spaces. I frequently use indent-rigidly and
fill-individual-paragraphs, in order to make the indentation right. When I
recently upgraded to emacs22 this year, a bug was introduced in
fill-individual-paragraphs, described here in a simple example:
In text fill mode with fill-column set at 78 (I think), repeat 12 blocks of
1234567890 like so, properly filled with a hanging indent of 1 space:
1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890
1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890
Then select the region given by that paragraph and call indent-rigidly with
an argument of 4, to indent the whole thing, and then follow that up with an
invocation of fill-individual-paragraphs, with that paragraph selected. In
my upgraded emacs, that improperly fills the paragraph. If the simpler
command fill-paragraph is used on the paragraph, it works correctly.
Obviously I don't want to call fill-paragraph a bunch of times when I want to
fill many paragraphs at once, so this is a very annoying bug.
Fill-individual-paragraphs used to work correclty on the previous version of
emacs (emacs21, I think) for Debian stable.
Thanks for any help with this,
Rory Mulvaney
