I don't know when this started, but recently I've seen the following annoying behavior from M-RET in org files.
Here is a minimal file to demonstrate what I'm seeing lately: ============================== demo.org ============================== * First Header Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. * Second Header ======================================================================= When the headings are completely folded, I see the following, as expected: ============================== demo.org ============================== * First Header... ^* Second Header ======================================================================= With my cursor on the ^, I hit M-RET to insert a new heading between "First Header" and "Second Header", and I get the following: ======================================================================= When the headings are completely folded, I see the following, as expected: ============================== demo.org ============================== * First Header...* ^ * Second Header ======================================================================= In other words, the new heading is being placed after the elipses for the folded content of the first heading. Naturally, I expect the following: ============================== demo.org ============================== * First Header... * ^ * Second Header ======================================================================= I'm trying to determine if this is an odd intereaction from some of my settings, or if it is a bug in the org code. It does the same whether I have org-indent-mode toggled on or off. Does anyone else see this behavior?
