Subject: save-excursion fails to restore point
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2009 13:56:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20524da70906091356x1f0dc7e4h249e2d92f93b9977@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Here is a minimal test case:

(save-excursion
  (outline-up-heading 1 'invisible-ok)
  (org-sort-entries-or-items nil ?a))

What happens is that point stays on the parent headline.

What I expect is for save-excursion to save point no
differently from just saving point and doing goto-char.

Also:

When I change a todo state and then sort entries manually
using my sort function, everything works.  But when I do so
from org-after-todo-state-change-hook, point gets placed on
the parent headline.  Point gets changed right after the
save-excursion in org-todo (3rd paren from last).

Reproducible?

RMS in the reply to
http://www.archivum.info/bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org/2006-01/msg00053.html
seems to say that it is inevitable.

Is there a way for org to work around this?

If not, it is a warning to the wise.
