When the point is at the end of the line, as it's normal after writing
something, the new line is still being opened above.
I should add that after testing it some more after sending the bug
report, it managed to create a new line above a paragraph that was
disconnected to the one I was currently editing, like so (the |
character is the point):
// Paragraph one.
// With some other lines.
normal(text);
// Another paragraph
// begins here.|
Which became:
// |
// Paragraph one.
// With some other lines.
normal(text);
// Another paragraph
// begins here.

The point is always in the spot placed by M-j. In the case of //, it's
after the space (so 3 characters after the beginning of the line), in
case of *, it's right after the star without any spaces. The first time
I press the keybinding the point is at the end of the line, as shown in
the example above.
This is happening consistently, both in my customized session and with
emacs -Q. The end result is relatively random and sometimes it doesn't
break immediately, but it happens eventually after a while that I'm
editing a file.
