What were you trying to do?
Edit a long comment in Emacs.
What's wrong:
M-j (indent-new-comment-line) doesn't do quite what it should.
Given a long sequence of comment characters and another line with a
single comment character on it, hitting M-j inserts too many comment
characters. To see the errant behavior, do this:
C-x b junk.tex
M-x tex-mode
C-u 78 %<RET>
% M-j
You get a whole slew of comment characters that looks something like this:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
What should have happened:
You should get a single comment character and something that looks like this:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
