Fun fact: this is still an issue but only on my Linux machine. My
Windows Emacs performs fine with tables.

Another example:

In the recent weeks I had the issue that LOGBOOK drawers were
moved before PROPERTIES drawers ending up in double PROPERTIES
drawers where the second one is ignored (habit, ...) or just one
LOGBOOK drawer followed by one ignored PROPERTIES drawer:

* example heading with two PROPERTIES drawers
:PROPERTIES:
:CREATED:  [2014-08-02 Sat 11:37]
:END:
:LOGBOOK:...
:PROPERTIES:
:CREATED:  [2014-07-16 Mon 14:42]
:STYLE: habit
:END:

* example heading with LOGBOOK before PROPERTIES and thus being ignored
:LOGBOOK:...
:PROPERTIES:
:CREATED:  [2014-07-16 Mon 14:42]
:STYLE: habit
:END:

(I am using (org-expiry-insinuate) to automatically create the
PROPERTIES drawer with the CREATED line if this matters here.)

This results in a big mess on my agenda and I had to fix those
headings semi-manually. Very annoying!

I don't have a clue, what causes this behavior since there is only a
(large) sub-set of my headings that got this mix-up.

Also: I recognized that many older headings were changed that way
that all empty lines were removed.

I got the suspicion that generating some Agendas or the org-mobile
export might correlate with the time-stamps of the modifications.


Besides my personal issues above: is there some kind of
automatically regression testing with real-world Org-mode files and
non-default settings?

I love this community! However, I get the impression that with every
"git pull", I end up being tester of a couple of new issues. :-(

Thinking about getting rid of the git repository and (only) using
"stable" Org releases ...
