Re: Longlines fuses words together after kill/yank

[Xah Lee]

yes, it's a software error created by whoever coded lonelines-mode.

it's a major pain in the ass. I have also reported the problem here
before. I have basically now abandoned using longelines-mode.

i'm not sure what you can do to work around this... but thanks for
bringing attention to it.

not solving your problem, but i've written essays on this issue you
might be interested:
