Re: [AUCTeX] Spurious newline after folded macros.

[Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll]

I would like to thank you all for investigating this issue. I tried using TeX-fold but was prevented from doing so because of the many spurious newlines and also because of the overall lag in the resulting buffer. Are both related? Could you help me investigate this?

Thank you for your report.  I think I found out the origin of the
behavior you reported.  Could you please try the following modified
function?  I.e., put the point (cursor) just after the last ")", type
C-x C-e and try folding again in the latex document buffer.  I expect
that the previous behavior is recovered.
If this fixes the problem, I'll install the change in the git
repository.

(defun TeX-fold-overfull-p (ov-start ov-end display-string)
  "Return t if an overfull line will result after adding an overlay.
The overlay extends from OV-START to OV-END and will display the
string DISPLAY-STRING."
  (and
   (save-excursion
     (goto-char ov-end)
     (search-backward "\n" ov-start t))
   (not (string-match "\n" display-string))
   (> (+ (- ov-start
            (save-excursion
              (goto-char ov-start)
              (line-beginning-position)))
         (length display-string)
         (- (save-excursion
              (goto-char ov-end)
              (line-end-position))
            ov-end))
      (current-fill-column))))
