Hi,
I've been using the table editing feature of org mode, I never
realised plain text tables could be such fun to work with, and I just
came across a small bug. I had entered a table:
| Heading 1 | Heading 2 |
| 1 | 2 |
| 11 | 22 |
and then decided I wanted to go back and put a horizontal line after
the heading. So I want to the start of the line after the heading and
entered "|-"
| Heading 1 | Heading 2 |
|-| 1 | 2 |
| 11 | 22 |
when I then pressed enter (or tab), the first line of data got eaten
up and replaced with the horizontal line like this:
| Heading 1 | Heading 2 |
|-----------+-----------|
| 11 | 22 |
This wasn't the behaviour I was expecting :). While it is pretty
obvious to see what was going on in this example, if you have a long
table it isn't as obvious and I didn't notice until much later (emacs
undo in region saved the day).
Cheers,
Chris.

Not really a bug...anything past '|-' is considered garbage.
Try 'C-c -' instead, or open a new line when you enter '|-'.

I tend to disagree. I feel that anything that breaks the semantic
model of "enter = insert new line at point" is a bug. Particularly if
it results in the loss of data. But I can be persuaded otherwise.
Cheers
Chris

Then don't use org-mode tables, because "enter" has different (and at
least to me) more useful semantics there.

As I said, I can be persuaded otherwise, but saying don't use org-mode
tables isn't very persuasive. What is the semantic model for "enter"
when using org-mode tables? Clearly I don't understand it.
Thanks,
Chris.

Return and TAB reformats the current table line.
Return goes to next-line and same-column cell.
TAB goes to the same-line and next-column cell.
I think reformatting a line starting with |- to |----+----|
is the right thing to do.
What did you expect instead?
