Re: Org 8 Bug in interactive formula editing mode?

Nick,

sorry for the confusion, you are right, I was not clear ...

Ok I did the following and found something strange:

First I installed 8.2.7b.zip and installed it in my homedir (without) patch and
I found out the same error: Edit formulas C-c ' throws me to the end of another
line and I cannot see the formula anymore as I wrote above.

After that I installed org-8.2.6, an older version, in my homedir (without
patch) and everything works fine, emacs jumps from field to field in the
formula.

So I was wrong, it has nothing to do with the patch, there is something
different between version org-8.7b and version 8.6.0, which produces this
error I guess.

I will now try to install your version from latest maint, see what happens and
report!!
