Hi Carsten,
A recent change to org-mode is driving me nuts. I regularly use Return
at the beginning of a task to insert a blank line and append detail to
the previous task. This no longer works and cycles through the task's
folded status instead.
I usually work with my org-file partially folded so it could be
something like this
...
** Some Task...
** Another task...
...
and I want to add detail at the end of 'Some Task'. What I used to do
was just put the point at the beginning of the line for ** Another Task
and then hit RETURN to insert a blank line and move up to it to add
detail.
Now it cycles Another Task through the various folded states. C-q C-j
does what I want but I haven't unlearned my old workflow yet.
Is there a way to turn this behaviour off?
I learned this workflow because C-e puts the point after 'Some Task' and
before '...' so if I start typing there it ends up on the first line
after the task. I don't know of a convenient way to get to the end of
the data in the task (after the '...')
I also work regularly with the results of a org-spare-tree search and
RET changes the folding status which loses the results of the search for
me which isn't very convenient.
Do you have any suggestions?
Regards,
Bernt

That is interesting. I do the same thing. I am at 6.21a and the
old behavior still works for me. What version are you using?

I'm on today's version in git.
Org-mode version 6.21trans
Git commit be9557bf44b64bb1f1d85d04d398b7b48d24f935
GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2008-11-09 on raven, modified by Debian
I restarted Emacs and now it works again :/
My emacs session was running for a day to two and I've reloaded newer
versions of org-mode a few times. C-h k RET was returning
org-open-at-point instead of org-return (like it does now after the
restart).
I'm not sure how this was modified but it's working again now.
Thanks!

I think this is caused by the new default for `org-return-follows-link',
maybe some interaction with org-mouse which activates the stars for
the mouse.
I am reverting the change to switch to this default until I have a
more robust
implementation.

just as a side note: wouldn't it be better to use C-o (`open-line')
instead of RET (`newline')? This would leave the cursor probably where
you want it to be without the need for an additional C-p.

I am actually permanently reverting the change in the default value of
org-return-follows-link. I will implement it a more safe way
so that people who want can safely use it, but it will not become
the default as it sort-of conflicts with Emacs rules (which
state that RET should make new lines unless there is a very
good reason for it...

Yes it probably would - I wasn't aware of that :) Thanks.
