Hello,

org-capture seems to be inserting an extra line before the task
heading. So the narrowed buffer for editing the task looks something
like this:

-------------------- Top of window ---------------

** TODO My new task
   [2018-03-02 Fri]
   [[file:~/.notes]]
-------------------- End of buffer ---------------

I would expect the task heading to be the first line in the buffer.
After pressing 'C-c C-c' the resulting file looks like this:

--------------------------------------------------
* Tasks

** TODO My new task
   [2018-03-02 Fri]
   [[file:~/.notes]]
--------------------------------------------------

Is this a bug? If not, how do I stop the blank line from being
inserted before the heading. As far as I can tell, this is not related
to org-blank-before-new-entry.

Could you show the capture template you used? I do not notice anything
like that with my templates.

Regards,

I've set up a minimal-org.el file with the following contents:

    ;; Minimal setup to load latest 'org-mode'
   
    ;; activate debugging
    (setq debug-on-error t
          debug-on-signal nil
          debug-on-quit t)
   
    ;; add latest org-mode to load path
    (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/elisp/org-mode/lisp"))
    (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/elisp/org-mode/contrib/lisp" t))

Then I've run emacs with `emacs -Q -l minimal-org.el`. So I'm just running the with org-mode default capture template, which (taken from org-capture.el) would be:

    ("t" "Task" entry (file+headline "" "Tasks")
     "* TODO %?\n  %u\n  %a")
