Hi all,

one of the things I most frequently use in org-mode are checkboxes. But
there's something I haven't figured out yet. Let's say I have a TODO entry
with some checkboxes like this:

* TODO fry egg [3/5]
  1. [X] get a pan
  2. [X] put some olive oil in pan
  3. [X] heat pan
  4. [ ] crack egg into pan
  5. [ ] wait until ready

Here everything's fine. Now I change the "TODO" to, say, "IN PROGRESS",
whereby I automatically get a "State" line, which I do want to have,
like this:

* IN PROGRESS fry egg [3/5]
  - State "IN PROGRESS" from "TODO"       [2010-12-16 Thu 16:48]
  1. [X] get a pan
  2. [X] put some olive oil in pan
  3. [X] heat pan
  4. [ ] crack egg into pan
  5. [ ] wait until ready

But if I now want to insert a new step "5. [ ] salt egg" with
"M-S-Enter", then I get a "1" before "- State ..." and I get two entries
with number "5." and an error beep. Also, trying to change the order of
the steps with "M-Up"/"M-Down" produces similar unwanted results. So the
presence of the "- State ..." line messes everything up.

Any ideas?

I'm using org-mode version 7.01h under GNU emacs 23.2.1.

Thank you.
