Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.

Be sure to consult the FAQ section in the manual before submitting
a bug report.  In addition check if the bug is reproducable with an
up-to-date version of AUCTeX.  So please upgrade to the version
available from http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/ if your
installation is older than the one available from the web site.

If the bug is triggered by a specific (La)TeX file, you should try
to produce a minimal sample file showing the problem and include it
in your report.

Your report will be posted for the auctex package at the GNU bug
tracker.  Visit http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=auctex
to browse existing AUCTeX bugs.

I have many times encountered unsatisfactory behavior of M-q
auto-filling when the subsequent line would start with 'However,'. The
fill leaves also the preceding word on the line with 'However,',
although that would fit well on the preceding line.

You don't bother giving an example so I have to guess.  My guess is that
You don't end your sentences with double space but have

    sentence-end-double-space is a variable defined in ‘paragraphs.el’.
    Its value is t

      This variable is safe as a file local variable if its value
      satisfies the predicate ‘booleanp’.

    Documentation:
    Non-nil means a single space does not end a sentence.
    This is relevant for filling.  See also ‘sentence-end-without-period’
    and ‘colon-double-space’.

    This value is used by the function ‘sentence-end’ to construct the
    regexp describing the end of a sentence, when the value of the variable
    ‘sentence-end’ is nil.  See Info node ‘(elisp)Standard Regexps’.

    You can customize this variable.

set at its default of t .

Naturally, AUCTeX will obey your settings.

Is there any particular reason you don't customize
sentence-end-double-space to nil if you don't want to end sentences with
double space?  This is not, I repeat, not a problem related to AUCTeX.
AUCTeX follows the rest of Emacs here.

Hi,

Thank you for your response! I noticed too that double space fixed the problem for that particular sentence. Still, I don’t use double space for any sentence and the other sentences auto-fill as they should. Is that nevertheless proper behavior?

Cheers,
