Hello,
There is a certain case when org-mode leaves trailing whitespace on
":LOGBOOK:" and ":END:" lines and this was bringing me a little
annoyance, as I like to keep my org files neat. I finally tracked down
the source of the problem.
I use the following configuration to automatically create a logbook
drawer for each TODO:
(setq org-treat-insert-todo-heading-as-state-change t
org-log-into-drawer t
org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO(t!)" "|" "DONE(d!)")))
Down at the end of `org-indent-line', a bit of code meant to clean up
the whitespace of properties inserts the trailing whitespace in the case
of the ":LOGBOOK:" and ":END:" lines.
(if (looking-at org-property-re)
(replace-match (concat (match-string 4)
(format org-property-format
(match-string 1) (match-string 3)))
t t))
The ":LOGBOOK:" and ":END:" lines are matched by this block. The
default value of org-property-format is "%-10s %s", so ":LOGBOOK:" and
":END:" are considered property keys and get padded out to 10
characters; then an additional space is added after that, followed by
nothing because `(match-string 3)' is nil.
I'm not sure of the best way to rewrite the above block to eliminate the
trailing whitespace, but I would really appreciate any help in getting
such a change applied.
Thank you,
John Foerch

It seems you are running Org 8.2. Would you mind to test if this behavior
is fixed in the 8.3 git version?
Thanks,
Rasmus
