Bug in subtree narrowing

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

Hi Carsten,

org-tree-to-indirect-buffer does not include the final
newline.  This causes sorting to run two lines together.
For example, a headline can get joined to an :END: line.
This can cause a task to not be recognized.

Sorting makes a lot of changes, so some users will not
notice the bug until much later.

org-narrow-to-subtree appears similar.

A lot of user code might assume, as perhaps org-sort does,
that the final line has a newline.

The choice of solution I will leave to you :).

My preference is for the final newline to exist.  This is
because it feels normal to me as a user.  If I go to the end
of the buffer, then up, I usually expect to be on the last
line.  If I manually kill a subtree (or a paragraph) I kill
to the beginning of the next line.  m-x mark-paragraph
appears to do this.  So does m-x kill-paragraph.

However, I will not file a bug on outline.
outline-mark-subtree (which org users use also) does not include the
final newline.
outline-end-of-subtree does (forward-char -1), which means
that it is deliberate.  There are likely to be factors that
I have not considered.

"Org-mode version 6.30trans (release_6.30d.814.gdacd)" .

Thanks.


Samuel
