Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

      https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I open a new file, /tmp/demo.org, and I start a new list
by typing "<enter>- a<enter>".  It appears:

- a

What I expect: my cursor should now be at column 0.  This was the
behavior in 9.3.6 and it makes perfect sense.

What happens instead: after upgrade to 9.4.4, the cursor rests at
column 2, under the a.

How do I change the behavior back to the 9.3.6 one?

Facts about it:

- When I start emacs with 'emacs -Q -nw' the bug does not manifest even 
in 9.4.4.
- When I paste the 'current state' elisp below into ~/it.el, and start emacs
   with emacs -Q -nw, and 'L' in dired to load ~/it.el, the bug does not 
manifest.
- I have read the changelog and the manual, with no good result.
- I have an example where the bug does not manifest even in 9.4.4 and
   even without running emacs -Q, where the .org file is a little thing
   full of lines starting with ':' only (!).
- I tried setting org-adapt-indentation to 't (the default) as it is
   an obvious suspect, the bug still manifested.

many thanks,

- James P.

Short answer: disable electric-indent-local-mode, as suggested in
ORG-NEWS.  This will turn RET into the "dumb newline" key which should
never indent, and set C-j as the "smart newline" key which occasionally
indents.

That's surprising; on my setups, with Org 9.4.4, emacs -Q -nw stays at
column 2 after hitting RET.

> - I tried setting org-adapt-indentation to 't (the default) as it is
>   an obvious suspect, the bug still manifested.

org-adapt-indentation's determines how TAB and the "smart newline" key
behave:

- t (default): section bodies should be hard-indented,

- nil (to become the default for Org 9.5): nothing should be indented,

- 'headline-data: drawers (e.g. :LOGBOOK: entries and :PROPERTY: blocks)
  should be hard-indented, but not regular section text.

With all settings, "- a<smart newline>" indents at column 2, below "a".
As explained above, depending on electric-indent, the <smart newline>
key is either RET or C-j.

Note also that "- a<smart newline><smart newline><smart newline>" goes
back to column 0.  (FWIW I think that's a bit unwieldy; going back to
column 0 on the /second/ <smart newline> would make more sense to me, as
it would correspond to a "paragraph break")

It would make it painful to insert a blank line within a list item.
OTOH, on the third newline, you are really out of the list.

Fair enough!  I figured the current behaviour made it easier to write
"multiple paragraphs" in a single list item, but I was unsure if anyone
actually relied on that.  Thanks for confirming this hunch :)

FWIW, during the latest poll somebody suggested making org-indent-line
cycle through "syntactically valid" indentation levels when hitting TAB
repeatedly, like python-indent-line-function; I like this idea.

i think (*) the current "master" branch allows you to type "-
fu<RET>-<TAB> *bar" (where the " *" bit means "zero or more spaces").
but, i guess because of folding, it's that sensitive, doesn't cycle when
any non-blank is typed.

(it might be nice if "- fu<RET><TAB>" moved you back to alignment with
the previous line.)

cheers, Greg

(*) i.e., "it works for me".

Right, that allows changing the indentation level of a newly inserted
bullet point; my remark was about changing the indentation level of
regular text, e.g. "- list item<RET><TAB>unindented paragraph".

C-j works well enough when there are only two valid positions (column 2
and column 0); in this situation though:

- foo
  - bar
  - baz<point>
    
It would be nice if RET TAB TAB TAB… cycled between columns 2→0→4…, just
like M-RET TAB TAB TAB… cycles between columns 6→2→4…

Kevin,

ah.  the behavior is complicated for me to understand, but presumably
useful.  (there's a Jerzy Neyman quote: Life is complicated, but not
uninteresting.)

cheers, Greg
