Strange extra-space when using yasnippet for Org-mode heading

Strange extra-space when using yasnippet for Org-mode heading

[Karl Voit]

Hi!

I do have a simple yasnippet template:

,----[ ~/.emacs/yasnippets/text-mode/org-mode/test ]
| # name : test snippet
| # # --
| ** $1 $2  :$1$2:
| $0
`----

When I invoke the snippet using »test« followed by the TAB key,
yasnippet correctly inserts the template. But after pressing the
first key afterwards, I get an extra space character.

So with »test« followed by TAB, »foo«, TAB, »bar«, I get this:

,----[ result with extra-space after »f« ]
| ** f oo bar   :f oobar:
| <Cursor>
`----

I am not even sure if this is an Org-mode related problem at all.
But since I do *not* end up with extra space characters when I
modify the template so that the two asterisks are missing (no
heading), I am afraid that Org-mode has a problem with yasnippet (at
least at my side).

Thanks for any pointer!


PS. current Org-mode from git; yasnippet (version 0.6.1b)

Are you using org-indent-mode?  If so, maybe what you're seeing is
related to this outstanding bug:

Yes.

It is?

Oh. I do not get the relation yet and if I deactivate
«org-startup-indented», I still can reproduce my problem with the
extra space.

Probably I was not able to explain it correctly: I do not mind,
where the tags are being placed. The extra space is *within* the
first word I type. So »foo« gets replaced by »f oo« for example.
