Hello there,

I noticed a weird bug within Emacs Org Mode as I use it often for my TODO lists for both personal use and for work.

I noticed that if you hit "C-c ," you are prompted nowadays to enter a number from like 1 to whatever your highest priority was set to, and that you have to enter in the number and THEN press enter.

This behavior on a side note is a little annoying since I usually only use priorities 1 through 5, and don't want to have to hit enter each time. I kind of wish I could just go back to just hitting '1' or '5' and moving on. But, I understand this was to make the ceiling of the highest priority be like 65 or something like that, so I understand why this was included.

My main point is that the "SPC to remove" option doesn't actually work.

If you try doing "C-c ," then hit Space, and then press Enter, the priority of the task still remains the same.

*Workaround:*
I've had to manually delete the priority number as a workaround which is a bit annoying.
I've used F3 as a on-the-fly macro to quickly do this across multiple todo list items as well.
However, it does feel a little awkward having to do this, so I'm wondering if anyone has encountered this as well.

Thanks,

Sam
