Re: Bug: Capture problems with newlines [9.1.14 (9.1.14-9-g131531-elpa @ /home/calvin/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20181105/)]

Yes, this is fixed in the development branch. I am so happy about this. I hope this is released in a stable version soon, because right now org-capture is really destructive otherwise.

Thanks!
