* Problem indenting plain lists

I'm on Org-mode version 6.33 (release_6.33) and I'm having a problem  
with indenting. Given this little org file:

* Heading 1
   - notes 1
   - notes 2
     - more notes
*** Heading 2
     - even more notes
     - even more notes

I want to make a new plain list item before "notes 1".

If I put my cursor at the start of the line that says "- notes 1",  
then RET and C-p (ie make a blank line) and then type -TAB nothing  
happens. If I type - and then use either demote heading or demote  
subtree, it indents the current line, but also demotes all the lines  
below it. Is there a way to just indent the hyphen so it lines up with  
other notes lines?

Thanks,

   -Anthony

No, but you can put the cursor in column zero at "notes 1" and press M- 
RET.

Ah! Thanks very much. I knew I must be missing something.

Hi Anthony,

I can't reproduce this behaviour.

If I put the point at the start of the '  - notes 1' line then hit M-RET
I get this:

,----
| * Heading 1
|   - <point here>
|   - notes 1
|   - notes 2
|     - more notes
| *** Heading 2
`----

RET C-p - TAB gives me this:

,----
| * Heading 1
|   -<point here>
|   - notes 1
|   - notes 2
|     - more notes
| *** Heading 2
`----
