According to the info file: "Auto Fill" mode is a minor mode in which lines are broken automatically when they become too wide. Breaking happens only when you type a SPC or RET. Unfortunately, this does not work for RET in 18.52. When you hit RET while in fill mode it does NOT make a break. Repeat by (I just did, while in Mail Abbrev Fill): C-U (universal argument) 60 x SPC C-U (universal-argument) 60 x RET and it doesn't fill. Annoying when the last line of a paragraph ends in a long word, and you double return to start a new paragraph. This seems to be broken in 18.52, although it worked in 18.51. It also occurs in Fundamental Fill, Nroff Fill, and Text Fill (that's all I have tested.) C-H s (describe-syntax) says that C-@ .. SPC (which includes RET) are whitespace. I can't think of anything else non-standard that might have brought this behavior on. -- Karl --
