I asked on emacs.stackexchange and found no solution: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/53526/org-mode-refiling-gobbles= -a-newline-and-absorbs-the-next-heading In the course of fixing this, I found another bug in using the hook `org-= capture-before-finalize-hook`, which adds text at the beginning and end o= f the org buffer and not in the beggining and end of the capture item. Full details, copied from the StackExchange thread: I often have this problem in Org mode: I write an item with org-capture, = refile it, and days later I see a result like this: 
*** TODO some task
some notes** StackExchange
I believe that the problem is that org capture inserts the text into the = buffer, and if the item does not end with a newline, it gobbles the delim= iter to the next heading and both get refiled together. I already added two newlines to my capture template to minimize this prob= lem. My capture template is: ``` lisp (setq org-capture-templates '(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline "~/org/gtd.org" "Reminders") "* TODO %?\n\n")) ``` If I try a new item with `C-c c t` and type something, I see it appear in= the main buffer. If I delete the newline at the end, the newline is dele= ted in the buffer too and gobbles the next line. Deleting further charact= ers in the capture buffer does not delete them from the main buffer. I think I could add a hook such as `(add-hook 'org-capture-before-finaliz= e-hook ...)` but I'm not sure how to include a newline and how to do it b= efore refiling, to avoid the next item being refiled with the captured it= em. How can I fix this problem? **Update**: Following @Aquaactress's suggestions, I tried two methods. Bo= th fail and the versions may be important: 
Org mode version 9.1.9 (release_9.1.9-65-g5e4542 @ /Applications/Emacs.ap=
p/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/)

In the first method, I added `:empty-lines` in the org-capture template: ```lisp (setq org-capture-before-finalize-hook nil) (setq org-capture-templates '(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline "~/test.org" "heading 1") "* TODO %?\n" :empty-lines 1))) ``` The result in screenshots is below: I add a capture item, delete newlines= from the end of the org-capture buffer, and refile. The heading next to = the refiled item is gobbled: [![Empty lines method, step 1 - create an org-capture item][1]][1] [![Empty lines method, step 2 - delete lines from end of org-capture buff= er][2]][2] [![Empty lines method, step 3 - refile][3]][3] In the second method, I added a function that inserts new lines at the be= ginning and end of the org capture buffer (for exposition, I also add `he= llo world!` to show that these insertions go at the beginning and end of = the whole org buffer, not the org-capture buffer): ```lisp (setq org-capture-before-finalize-hook nil) (defun +org|insert-newlines () (beginning-of-buffer) (insert "\nhello world!\n") (end-of-buffer) (insert "\nhello world!\n")) (add-hook 'org-capture-before-finalize-hook #'+org|insert-newlines) (setq org-capture-templates '(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline "~/test.org" "heading 1") "* TODO %?\n" :empty-lines 1))) ``` The result in screenshots is below: I add a capture item, delete newlines= from the end of the org-capture buffer, and refile. The heading next to = the refiled item is gobbled and the lines inserted go at the beginning an= d end of the buffer, instead of the org-capture buffer.
