Hi Rustom,
have you seen this part of the reply? Matt is correct that what you
are trying (demoting a region of headlines) works with M-right, but
not with M-S-right. The reason for this is that a region might
contain incomplete trees, which would led to a contradiction in which
headlines should be changed.
