Re: [Orgmode] a couple of possible bugs in filling/indenting of plain lists

[Carsten Dominik]

As Eddward says, you seem to be able to circumvent this by not
allowing indent.el to use TAB characters for indentation:

(setq indent-tabs-mode nil)

It seems to me that this problem is a bug in the Emacs indentation
code, not in Org-mode.
