Calling `org-fill-paragraph' inside a table leaves point at the end of the table, for reasons that are totally unclear to me.
I've tested this with up-to-date org and emacs -Q, so I'm hoping it's reproducible. I edebugged org-fill-paragraph, and it appears to do the right thing, going from the save-excursion to the cond to the org-table cond statement, and there calling `org-table-align'. That works correctly, but stepping forward you come to the end of the enclosing `save-excursion', and emerging from `save-excursion' puts point at the end of the table -- precisely what it's not supposed to do! I made a minimum sexp to reproduce the relevant bits of org-fill-paragraph: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (save-excursion (let ((element (org-element-at-point))) (case (org-element-type element) (table-row (org-table-align) t)))) #+END_SRC Putting point in a table and eval'ing that also leaves point at the end of the table. I tried using (call-interactively 'org-table-align) and it did the same thing. I'm baffled, particularly as it doesn't do this for any other element type. Any clever ideas? M-q after a bit of typing is already stuck in my fingers, and this bit of strangeness doesn't set the mark, so editing long tables is a pain... Thanks! E
