[Orgmode] todo items not working?
Hi everyone: I'm using Emacs 22.2.1 and org-mode 6.14 on Ubuntu Linux. I've been trying to go through David O'Toole's tutorial, but I've hit a problem in the first example itself. I have the following org file loaded in org-mode: * test ** TODO test2 However, when I do 'C-c C-t' on the second item, it changes it to this: * test TODO ** test2 and messages 'not on a heading'. Having encountered this error, I tried using the older version of org-mode that Emacs 22 ships with -- and double-checked that the version change had indeed been recognized -- but I encountered the same problem, except now the TODO is spliced in between the two asterisks: * test * TODO * test2 I am not able to figure out how to fix this. I appreciate all suggestions -- it would be great if I am able to use this wonderful resource! Sincerely, Saketh ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Greg: Okay, I have just done so, but I get the same behavior.
Matthew: My "customization" is simply the series of commands listed in the
documentation. That is:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/elisp/org-6.26d/lisp")
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))
(require 'org-install)
Giovanni: Shift + Left Arrow (or Right Arrow) produces the exact same
behavior, for some reason.
Since I am doing this "from scratch" on Ubuntu Linux, I am surprised that I
am getting such weird behavior with "C-c C-t" and "Shift + Arrows".
Sincerely,
Saketh

Re: [Orgmode] todo items not working?
As expected, it says "C-c C-t runs the command org-todo." The command "M-x
org-todo" also does the same thing. Again, the same thing is:
* Tasks
** TODO This is a test
=>
* Tasks
* TODO * TODO This is a test
I'm still not able to figure it out, especially since this is out-of-the-box
behavior. More interestingly, I've tried it on another machine (which has
Carbon Emacs, org-mode v4.67c), and the same behavior occurs.
However, when the TODO items are at the top level (one asterisk), org-todo
works fine.

Re: [Orgmode] todo items not working?
Greg, Matthew, Giovanni, Nick, and Memnon:
I did the 'edebug-defun' as Nick suggested and found the problem. An obscure
library that was installed on both of my machines modified outline-regexp
before org was loaded (as Nick had guessed), causing the wacky behavior.
Thank you very much for your help!
Sincerely,
Saketh
