Hi everyone:
I'm using Emacs 22.2.1 and org-mode 6.14 on Ubuntu Linux.
I've been trying to go through David O'Toole's tutorial, but I've hit a
problem in the first example itself. I have the following org file loaded in
org-mode:
* test
** TODO test2
However, when I do 'C-c C-t' on the second item, it changes it to this:
* test
TODO ** test2
and messages 'not on a heading'.
Having encountered this error, I tried using the older version of org-mode
that Emacs 22 ships with -- and double-checked that the version change had
indeed been recognized -- but I encountered the same problem, except now the
TODO is spliced in between the two asterisks:
* test
* TODO * test2
I am not able to figure out how to fix this. I appreciate all suggestions --
it would be great if I am able to use this wonderful resource!
Sincerely,
Saketh

I've never encountered this behavior. Could you share your customization
for the variable org-todo-keywords?

it seems to me that you have pressed only C-t.
Try to use Shift-"left arrow" (->) to change TODO status.
cheers,

Greg: Okay, I have just done so, but I get the same behavior.
Matthew: My "customization" is simply the series of commands listed in the
documentation. That is:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/elisp/org-6.26d/lisp")
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))
(require 'org-install)
Giovanni: Shift + Left Arrow (or Right Arrow) produces the exact same
behavior, for some reason.
Since I am doing this "from scratch" on Ubuntu Linux, I am surprised that I
am getting such weird behavior with "C-c C-t" and "Shift + Arrows".
Sincerely,
Saketh

What does
C-h c C-c C-t
say? Or does it cut it short and give you something after the C-c?
Either way, the answer should be interesting.

As expected, it says "C-c C-t runs the command org-todo." The command "M-x
org-todo" also does the same thing. Again, the same thing is:
* Tasks
** TODO This is a test
=>
* Tasks
* TODO * TODO This is a test
I'm still not able to figure it out, especially since this is out-of-the-box
behavior. More interestingly, I've tried it on another machine (which has
Carbon Emacs, org-mode v4.67c), and the same behavior occurs.
However, when the TODO items are at the top level (one asterisk), org-todo
works fine.

Greg, Matthew, Giovanni, Nick, and Memnon:
I did the 'edebug-defun' as Nick suggested and found the problem. An obscure
library that was installed on both of my machines modified outline-regexp
before org was loaded (as Nick had guessed), causing the wacky behavior.
Thank you very much for your help!
Sincerely,
Saketh

Was the library a public one? If so, you probably should post its name
so that there is a record of it in the archives - the next victim might
then have an easier time identifying the problem than you did!-)
