Re: [Orgmode] Bug: Problems with missing newline on last line of narrowd subtree [6.33trans (release_6.33f.129.g904a)]

[Darlan Cavalcante Moreira]

Because of this problem I usually create a dummy headline at the end of the
subtree when I work in a narrowed subtree for a long time. If I avoid changing
anything after this dummy headline I know that nothing strange will happen. Not
elegant, I know, but its a work around for now.
