Hello,
I put "refiling" in the title as that is the moment when things go awry, so I
noticed it when I refiled items.
I updated Org to 9.3.1 and confirm that the bug is still present. Because I got
some compatibility problems, I tested it with `emacs -q`, in which I didn't
have email, and then drafted the email after reverting to the built-in 9.1.9.
Below is the relevant part to reproduce the bug. What do you mean by ECM? Error
Correction Mode? Engineering Change Management?
Regards,
Miguel
Start a file at `~/test.org` with:
```
* heading 1
* heading 2
* heading 3
```
Set this capture template:
```
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline "~/test.org" "heading 1")
"* TODO %?\n")))
```
add a capture item, delete newlines from the end of the org-capture buffer, and
refile to "heading 3". The heading next to the refiled item is gobbled and both
the org-capture item and the gobbled "heading 2" move to "heading 3".
