This is a really (*really*) trivial problem, but one that I've seen many times, is annoying, and I wonder if anyone knows an easy fix. I'll get these long lines (not text just some graphical artifact) off the left of comments. See image attached. The line goes away if: * Change to text mode * Change to nxml-mode * Or if I "hunt-and-peck" to remove a character: The "/" changed to "x" fixes it here: # _ _ # | |__ _____ _| |_ ___ __ _ ___ _ __ _____ ____ _ # | _ \ / _ \ \ /\ / / __/ _ \ / _` |/ _ \ '_ \ / _ \ \ / / _` |________ # | | | | (_) \ V V /| || (_) | | (_| | __/ | | | __/\ V / (_| | # |_| |_|\___/ \_/\_/ \__\___/ \__, |\___|_| |_|\___| \_/ \__,_| # |___/ # _ _ # | |__ _____ _| |_ ___ __ _ ___ _ __ _____ ____ _ # | _ \ / _ \ \ x\ / / __/ _ \ / _` |/ _ \ '_ \ / _ \ \ / / _` | # | | | | (_) \ V V /| || (_) | | (_| | __/ | | | __/\ V / (_| | # |_| |_|\___/ \_/\_/ \__\___/ \__, |\___|_| |_|\___| \_/ \__,_| # |___/ The "_" changed to "x" fixes it here: # _ _ # __ _ _ __ _ _ | (_)_ __ _ ___ __ # / _` | '_ \| | | | | | | '_ \| | | \ \/ / # | (_| | | | | |_| | | | | | | | |_| |> <________________ # \__, |_| |_|\__,_| |_|_|_| |_|\__,_/_/\_\ # |___/ # _ _ # __ _ _ __ _ _ | (_)_ __ _ ___ __ # / _` | '_ \| | | | | | | '_ \| | | \ \/ / # | (x| | | | | |_| | | | | | | | |_| |> < # \__, |_| |_|\__,_| |_|_|_| |_|\__,_/_/\_\ # |___/ # Note - this happens in emacs22 in emacsw32 and in emacs22 over putty.
