Re: [O] possible org-insert-heading bug?

Hi Erik,


Glad to see you around :)

These all may be quite related. I haven't seen activity on those
threads suggesting whether a) the documentation is, in fact, right or
wrong or b) whether anyone has taken action to fix or adjust the
behavior of M-RET or C-RET based on the complaints/counter-intuitive
observations.

Let me know if those are similar to your issue. Perhaps Bastien can
comment on the state of these thread, now at least four in number...

I've taken to using C-RET in the meantime, as it seems to do what I
often expect when reflexively pressing M-RET. Also, someone once
corrected me on the documentation that "at the end of the line" might
mean before the ellipsis, not after?


Hope that helps!
John
