If I change that setting to t, then visual-line-mode keeps working when C-c C-l is used to insert a link. Changing pop-up-windows back to nil causes the bad behavior. One reason I want pop-up-windows to be set to nil is because I frequently use C-x C-b to look at the buffer list. If pop-up-windows is set to t, then C-x C-b opens the buffer list in a pop-up window while the active cursor is in the other window. This is ridiculous. I found this message about org-mode and pop-up windows in the mailing list archives: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2009-04/msg00712.html While the issue described is not the same as mine, the complaint about org-mode not playing nice when pop-up-windows is set to nil is still valid.
