Thanks for the quick clarification! I didn't see the relevant line in the documentation since my Emacs from Debian shows only the info documentation for the (outdated) Org that is bundled with Emacs [1]. I understand now that Org does what it should. However, I find this behavior quite dangerous. It caught me after more than 10 years of using Org. If there's a list of long-term issues with Org somewhere, this problem may deserve being added to it. Cheers Christoph [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=725408
