Headlines and visual-line-mode

Hi,

I have a text-mode-hook that turns on visual-line-mode, which means it's on
in all org files.  Generally I like visual-line-mode and would like it to be
on in my org-mode buffers, but I'm seeing a bug involving the wrapping of
headlines.  Specifically, because tags are placed at the right side of the
frame, and because collapsed headlines are followed by "...", the tags at
the end of the headline are wrapped, even if the headline is short.  So
instead of:

* Music
:music:...

I see

* Music
:music:...

Do other people encounter this problem?  The only information I could find
about org and visual-line-mode was about "clean mode", which I'm not using.

I'm using emacs 23.2.1 and Org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.5.204.g7327b)
from git.

Thanks!

Ethan

Have you looked at the actual function docstring?

(describe-function 'visual-line-mode)
  Redefine simple editing commands to act on visual lines, not logical lines.
  This also turns on `word-wrap' in the buffer.

Specifically that line about word-wrap should ring a bell.

Hi Ethan

Does the variable org-tags-column help? I set it to 0 to align the
tags left, just after the headline. (Changing this variable will
affect only tags touched afterwards.)

Hi, I decreased org-tags-column by a little bit and now it doesn't wrap.
Thanks!  Is there a similar option for org clock displays (as generated by
C-c C-x C-d)?  I think that's the only other place where I get gratuitous
wrapping.

Hi Ethan

For tags alignment in the agenda view there is also the variable
org-agenda-tags-column.

For the clock display C-c C-x C-d you ask for I can't find such an
option, except than directly decreasing (c 60) in
org-clock-put-overlay. To minimize line wrapping even more, both
(make-string (- 16 l) ?\ ) can be changed to "".
