[Orgmode] Question on org-mode adding extra blank line

[Umesh P N]

Hi,

Sometimes (I don't know when), when I press M-return (org-meta-return) at the end of a heading, the next heading line (at the same level) is added after a blank line rather than on the next line.  Looks like it is a feature and not a bug.  

Like this.

* heading 1  (I press M-return here.)

* heading 2

I expected

* heading 1  (I press M-return here.)
* heading 2

instead.

When does this happen, and how can I control that?

My gtd configurations below:

# -*- mode: org; -*-
