Hello. This is a problem I faced when I switched from 9.1.14 to 9.2.2.
I have the following minimal_file: (add-to-list 'load-path "~/Org/Coch-git/org-mode/lisp") (require 'org-inlinetask) ; (setq org-startup-indented t) I use emacs -Q -l minimal_file Then I visit a void org file (say), write a headline, set a tag to it, insert an inlinetask and set a tag to this inlinetask. With the minimal_file above, everything works as expected. If instead I uncomment the org-startup-indented line and redo the experiment, then the inlinetask tag gets shifted to the right of the headline task by 14 characters.
