I have the following capture template:

("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline (concat org-directory "/inbox.org") "inbox")
             "* TODO %?\n    %i\n    %a")

Yet, with "foo\nbar\nbaz" in the region, this expands to:

...
*** TODO
    foo
bar
baz
...

The manual says of %i that "The entire text will be indented like %i
itself." Is this a bug, or am I misunderstanding? To be specific, the
output I expect is:

...
*** TODO
    foo
    bar
    baz
...

I'm on 7.01g.

I've been using similar templates, with indented %i. I wasn't aware of what
the doc said about it, but I never had the text indented. Always only the
first line of text (with git versions taken every week or so).

Now, I don't mind anymore, as I've switched my way of writing, and stick to
beginning writing text at column 0, whatever the heading level.

But just wanted to confirm you this seems, then, a bug to me (regarding what
the doc promises).

Best regards,
  Seb

Thanks for the confirmation.

The following patch seems to fix the problem:

diff --git a/lisp/org-capture.el b/lisp/org-capture.el
index 111f7f7..1e407f1 100644
--- a/lisp/org-capture.el
+++ b/lisp/org-capture.el

   (setq template (or template (org-capture-get :template)))
+  (setq initial (or initial (org-capture-get :initial)))
   (when (stringp initial)
     (setq initial (org-no-properties initial))
     (remove-text-properties 0 (length initial) '(read-only t) initial))

Applied, at a slightly different place in that function.

Thanks!
