I can refile into the longlines format buffer and it looks fine until I close and reopen the buffer, then it is all drawn out into one long line, the headline instead of broken up. One other behavior I have noticed is that when I change state it generates the logbook and changes the state but then changes it from :LOGBOOK: - state changed from etc :END: to all being in one long line like :LOGBOOK - state changed from etc :END: . . . I have attatched a sample buffer with some sample TODO's refiled in from capture and the capture templates out of my .emacs in it as well.
