Moving Subtree Weirdness

Moving Subtree Weirdness

[srandby]

Here is something weird. When I move a subtree using M-S-<up> or 
M-S-<down>, the content of the first section of the subtree becomes 
centered.

* Subtree
** Section 1
Content 1
** Section 2
Content 2

changes to

* Subtree
** Section 1
                     Content 1
** Section 2
Content 2

It is as if M-s was used on the 'Content 1' line.

I find this annoying and inconvenient so I don't use these commands to 
move subtrees.  I haven't tested the other subtree moving commands. 
Anyway, M-S-<up>/<down> requires me to press three keys at the same time 
with my left hand, so not using those commands is no big deal.

Hi Scott,

for me it works like intended.
Perhaps you're confusing the keystrokes:

M-S-<down> does not mean
Meta-Shift-s <down>
but
Meta-Shift-<down>
i.e. the capital S denotes the Shift key.
Then you just have to press two keys with the left hand...

hth,

Hi Stephan,

Thanks, I was using M-Shift-s <down> instead of M-Shift <down>. Now it 
works fine.
