Hi Jose,

does C-c C-c fix the alignment, or not?

Any other workarounds or suggestions?

Hi Carsten,
Actually, C-c C-c does work while tab does not work reliably. I was 
just trying out different emphasis markers. Bold was what was giving me 
problem today (* regexp) - TAB didn't work while C-c C-c worked. My 
customized ones seemed to work fine today. However I do distinctly 
remember them not working properly earlier.  Let me know if C-c C-c is 
the recommended method for reformatting tables...


I've also found my custom emphasis markers not working reliably on 
headlines. Sometimes, they will revert back to not being emphasized 
depending on the following headline's contents. Not sure if using 
emphasis markers on headlines is discouraged or not. If you like, I can 
document this better and send you more details on the type of actions 
that cause the formatting to break.


I've always been known to indulge in corner cases and using things on 
the bleeding edge, so things like this always happen to me :)


Thanks,
Jose

Hi Chris, Jose,

maybe it is useful to explain a bit how the table editor works.  Each  
time you press a character,  Org checks if you are doing this inside a  
table.  If yes, Org is checking if it can insert the character into  
the current field., it it fits in there.  If yes it does so.  If not,  
it raises a flag that the next TAB should trigger a re-alignment of  
the table.  Org goes through all this to avoid having the re-align the  
table always, each time you press TAB, because for large tables this  
can lead to a significant slowdown.


Now, the two things mentioned in this thread, abbrev expansion and  
hiding of emphasis markers, happen outside the control of normal  
editing.  Both happen by some hook, and the corresponding change in  
field width is not noticed by Org.  It is not easy to fix this without  
endangering the mechanism that suppresses constant table alignment.   
It seems to me that these two cases are rare enough that it is not too  
much to ask to quickly fix things with C-c C-c.


I this really bothers you, take a look at the variable `org-enable- 
table-editor'.  The default for this variable is `optimized', which  
leads to the discussed behavior.  If you set it to t, each TAB will re- 
align the table.


HTH
