Hi,
A couple of recent threads reminded me about quite peculiar behavior
when a new heading is added by C-RET. I prefer to have an empty line
before headings. Sometimes such empty lines disappear. Is such behavior
(highly dependent of context) intentional? From my point of view it is
confusing.
--- 8< ---
Try =C-RET= when cursor in the following heading titles
* No empty line added
Text
* Existing empty line consumed
Text
* Empty line added before new heading
Text
--- >8 ---
Variants of C-RET effect:
--- 8< ---
* No empty line added
Text
* |
* Existing empty line consumed
--- >8 ---
or
--- 8< ---
* Existing empty line consumed
Text
* |
* Empty line added before new heading
--- >8 ---
or
--- 8< ---
* Empty line added before new heading
Text
* |
--- >8 ---

Yes, it is intentional. Org follows the blank lines of the current
heading when you press C-RET, by default.
This behaviour is customizable. See `org-blank-before-new-entry'.

Thank you for this hint. That was new to me as well.
M-x describe-variable RET org-blank-before-new-entry RET says:

Could you please advise how to configure the variable in your init file
to have it produce a blank line before _every_ new entry?
Thanks, and best regards,
Jürgen.

Thank you for explanation. Frankly speaking, I missed an option "do not
try to be smart (do not make decisions on hidden content because the
previous heading is folded)" that just adds "\n*" with appropriate
number of asterisks. I will try ('heading . t).
