* Bug: auto-fill in a body often inserts "#"

I am running the latest org-mode from the tar on emacs 22, installed
via macports, on a mac OS X Tiger default terminal.  I have turned on
auto-fill and set fill-column.

On the same setup with the default org-mode in emacs 22, this bug does
*not* happen.
Therefore, I think that it is either in the new code, or triggered by
the new code.

If I am at the end of a headline and press RET, then type alphabetic
characters and SPC as body text until auto-fill wraps, quite often the
second line will begin with a #.  There are no comment lines anywhere
nearby for auto-fill to adapt to.  This only happens in org-mode and
not in any other mode.

It sometimes happens and sometimes does not happen, which is strange.
I haven't tried it enough with emacs -q to be sure that it is or is
not something in my .emacs that is triggering the bug.  However, I
have no idea what could do this.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

What does M-x org-version RET say?  

The version of org-mode that came in the latest emacs 22 is pretty
old.  The current version is 6.06b available from http://orgmode.org/.

6.06b, as that is the latest.

Another possible aspect of the bug is that occasionally it leaves the
window scrolled to the right (i.e. the leftmost column is not visible)
when it should not.  FWIW.

I believe that org is getting the "#" from the only lines in the file
that have a "#", which are the control lines at the top.

If I have a commented control line, then "##" gets inserted on the
second line of the body text instead of "#".

I've seen this, but with an older version of org-mode.  It hasn't
happened in a long time, so I assumed it was a bug that got fixed.

IIRC, I suspected that some global minor mode might have whacked
things up, and restarting Emacs fixed the problem.  I also thought the
problem might be the fill-prefix, but in my case, it was nil as
expected.

You might want to see what the fill-prefix is next time it starts
doing that, just to be sure:

,----
| C-h v fill-prefix
`----

fill-prefix is nil.

Restarting emacs does not fix it.

Thanks.

may you send here your enabled minor modes please ? Hit `C-h m' from an
org buffer, then copy the first few lines here.

Paul sent this to the list, so I assume that I was supposed to do
reply to all instead of reply, which I initially did.  Hope it's the
right thing.

This looks fairly common, no fancy mode here.
You said you did not test a lot with emacs -Q, could you ensure it
still happens without any emacs setup loaded, just org-mode el files
loaded, and a fresh new .org file to work in. If you can reproduce it
in this case, may you join a recipe step by step to reproduce it here
please.

The problem seems to have gone away.  I never found out what was
causing it for certain, but when it occurred, comment-start was "#".
Maybe a global value.  If it happens again it will be easier to fix.

Thanks.
