Org moves the tree by cutting it out and pasting it back in. Outline visibility is done using overlays, not text properties. Overlays are lost when cutting and pasting text. So what one would have to do is save all the overlays, compute their relative distance to the tree head, and re-install them after pasting. Possible, but an unproportional effort in my view. Org settles currently for this: When a tree is folded entirely, it will be folded after it has been moved. When it is not folded entirely, then it will remain unfolded after the pasting. I think that this is entirely acceptable, so I don't view it as a bug. Desirable - maybe yes, but not important in my view. - Carsten On Dec 7, 2010, at 1:12 AM, Cassio Koshikumo wrote: > Thanks a lot, Matt!
