In addition to the issue you mention, you will also find 'spurious' additional characters turning up in things like html exports of your org files. I also started getting font-lock errors when I tried to edit special blocks using C-c ' and a number of other bits of weird behaviour. Once I dropped fci and configured the whitespace package to show characters past my fill column in a different colour, all the odd issues I was seeing just vanished and my exports were working correctly again. I preferred using fci and even used it for a while before I started seeing problems. It was only once I stopped using it I realised that many of the minor issues I was experiencing were due to fci and org incompatibilities. I did dig into this and found some others who had experienced similar issues and even some partial fixes, but in the end, they still didn't help with some of the more annoying issues and were likely to introduce other problems. While whitespace mode can provide similar functionality, I don't think it will adjust to the org indentation as well. The problem is that these packages just consider the screen and is not aware of mode level specifics. Of the two, I suspect you could make whitespace act more 'dynamically' than fci, but we probably really need an org-aware column indicator package/extension. tim Galen Menzel writes: > Hi all, > > I use [Semantic > linefeeds](http://rhodesmill.org/brandon/2012/one-sentence-per-line/) > for a lot of my org files, for which having a visual indicator of column > 80 is useful.
