This might be more than I can help you with -- I've got pretty much the
same org version as you, and the above does not behave that way for me,
it does what you're expecting it to. I'm using emacs 24, but I don't see
why that would affect this. Also, (require 'ido) is enough to make ido
work, including org's use of it.

I saw in one of your other threads that you're starting with emacs -Q --
is that true for this problem as well? If so, then I really am plumb out
of useful. I don't think it's a bug in org, though…

Sorry,

Eric
