Bug: Behavior of org-adapt-indentation [9.4.6 (9.4.6-10-gee652a-elpa @ /home/fsantos/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20210705/)]

[Frédéric Santos]

Hi!

This might not be *really* a bug, but since a recent update of Org, I
noticed an unwanted indentation of code blocks when the variable
org-adapt-indentation is set to 'headline-data. It can be reproduced
with this very minimal org config:

(use-package org
  :config
  (require 'org-tempo)
  (setq org-adapt-indentation 'headline-data))

In an org buffer, create a headline, and then:

1. Type some text which does *not* follow an empty line an press TAB:
    nothing happens (which is the expected behavior).
2. Type some text which does follow an empty line an hit TAB: this text
    gets indented according to the current headline level (the help page
    looks unclear to me: it might also be the expected behavior,
    although I don't really understand the rationale for it).

Point 2. has a side effect: when you still use the old template
expansion mechanism for code blocks (the one provided by org-tempo.el,
e.g. type <s and then hit TAB to expand a template), those code blocks
now get indented according to the headline level (because you press TAB,
I guess). I think it's not the expected behavior, since those code
blocks that follow an empty line will have a different indentation than
the text before and after them.

Here is an animated gif to better illustrate what I mean:

Is there a workaround to avoid this indentation of code blocks?

All the best,
Frédéric

Hi Frédéric,

I tried to reproduce with emacs -Q but I had no luck (see the image attached).
Could you give emacs -Q a go and let us know how it goes?
