Hi list
I have the following problems with org 4.76 (and previous versions
too). This is with emacs 22.0.50.1 (aquamacs 0.9.9d on OS X). My
fill-paragraph seems to be provided by fill-adapt.el version 2.12. My
indent-relative seems to come from the vanilla emacs version of
indent.el.
Cheers
Will
* Illustration of two bugs in org-mode filling/indenting

1. If I carry out the instruction in the following list item, the

For me, my indent problems where solved when I turned off the use of
tabs. I don't remember how I did it right now and I don't have access
to my work system at the moment. I'll let you know when I can check.

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.

This seems to come up quite often. Maybe we should report it to Emacs to
get it properly fixed ;)
I don't understand what's wrong and what should be fixed. Otherwise I
will report it.

It turns out that this was after all an org-mode bug.
Fixed for 4.77, thanks.

Thanks Carsten. Is this fix just for the indent-relative bug, or does
it fix the second (fill-paragraph) bug as well? I think that the
second bug might not have anything to do with lists, since I am sure I
have occasionally seen it in a plain paragraph after a deeply nested
heading, but I can't seem to reproduce that now.
Cheers
Will

The fix will only fix the second bug (with fill-paragraph). The first
problem I believe cannot be fixed, because Org-mode cannot know if
you want to start a new level of lists, or if you are continuing the
current list.

Thanks for the explanation. I am still a bit confused though, since
even if org thought I wanted to start a new list, then it should only
indent by one space, whereas it actually indents by two....
I repeat my original example here:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
** Problem with indent-relative in lists
1. If I carry out the instruction in the following list item, the
item is indented right by 2 spaces
2. *Press TAB key with the cursor in this line*
3. The same thing happens with + or - bullets
4. I have org-cycle-include-plain lists set to nil
5. The problem also appears even with all single-line items
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the case of ordered lists, I think that you can tell (in principle)
if the item represents the start of a new list. Whether it is worth
your effort is another matter :)

No, when starting a new list level, the bullet character should be
under the left margin of the text of the upper llevel, i.e.
2 characters indented.

Yes, I could do a lot of parsing, but I don't think it is worth the
effort.
If you use M-RET to make new list items, indentation is set correctly.

That's not how it works for me. For instance, org-metaright indents by
one extra character, not two. Same in lists as with headings. Perhaps,
you are you thinking of the case with org-odd-levels-only set to t.

Yes, the demotion commands shift only by one character at a time, you
need to press them several times to get the indentation shift you
want.
However, your question was about TAB, and that works as I described.
