LaTeX-fill-buffer places latex commands on the same line. For example,
\usepackage commands from different adjacent lines before filling will
be placed
on the same line after filling. I don't think is expected behaviour.

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

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

To some extent, it is the expected behavior: AUCTeX's filling algorithm
isn't smart enough to see the preamble of a document and skip the
filling there.  Hence, the `LaTeX-fill-buffer' command can be considered
dangerous and be used with care.  Patches to improve the situation are
welcome.

For the time being, I'm closing this report.

Best, Arash
