Re: Bug: org-indent-region doesn't restore cursor position when org-src-tab-acts-natively is t [9.1.9 (release_9.1.9-65-g5e4542 @ /usr/share/emacs/26.3/lisp/org/)]

Hi Bastien,

Thank you again for looking into this. I guess you couldn't find an easy 
fix.

This bug is quite the pain, since it gets triggered by the comment-line 
function: every time I try to comment something, the cursor goes to the 
beginning of the block.

With org-src-tab-acts-natively being set to t by default, it may impact 
a lot of people.

Sorry to be nagging you, my elisp-fu is barely above kill/yank level, 
but I'm still curious why save-excursion seemingly isn't doing its job here.
