"-" or "*" added to all visual lines in commented LaTeX code that starts with "-" or "*"

[rdiaz02]

Maybe I am misunderstanding something, but when I try to use hyphens "-" in commented LaTeX text, a "-" is added to the beginning of each visual line. The same thing happens with "*". In contrast, other characters (say "+", "=", "_") do not lead to the same issue. None of this happens if I disable adaptive-wrap-mode. I am attaching two image. Is disabling adaptive-wrap-mode the only way to prevent this behavior in LaTeX mode buffers (problem is that whenever I switch back and forth virtual-auto-fill, adaptive-wrap-prefix gets enabled again).

• Default (virtual-auto-fill which also enables adaptive-wrap)

• Virtual auto fill right after disabling adaptive-wrap

That odd behavior is because - and * for bullet lists I guess. Do I understand this correctly in that the desired behavior would be to only have the percentage sign plus some whitespace added to the wrapped lines in the first screenshot? I.e., it should look like https://github.com/luisgerhorst/virtual-auto-fill/blob/master/README-screenshot-virtual-auto-fill.png only with a percentage sign preceding each line. If this is the issue, we should report it at adaptive wrap prefix mode.

I am not sure if adapative wrap prefix mode can implement this easily. But maybe they could detect % as special because it's the comment char and then add their magic list processing on top of that.

Yes, exactly.

Do you want me to report it?

That would be great. You can link this issue and we can leave this open while they work on it.
