Thanks for the detailed explanation. I added (add-hook 'text-mode-hook '(lambda () (setq adaptive-fill-mode nil))) as suggested. It didn't work at first, but then when I did C-u C-c C-x r to "reload org uncompiled" and generate a backtrace, it did work and I was able to use capture to add a todo list. The current status is that I have to reload org uncompiled every time I restart emacs to get capture to work. The situation is the same even when I comment out the preceding add-hook for text-mode-hook. Any idea how to fix this?
