(org-cycle) in new plain list items

(org-cycle) in new plain list items

[lamaglama]

It is a minor thing, but it sort of bugs me:

When I press <TAB> in a new plain list item it demotes it, as it should. 
But when I press <TAB> again, it does not move to the parent level, like 
a new headline would. Rather, it goes to the initial level first, before 
moving on to the parent levels.

Is this intended behaviour?

Kind Regards

So I guess you have (setq org-cycle-include-plain-lists nil), right?

I'm not sure what "move to the parent level" really means here.

Sorry I cannot figure out what the problem is.  Can you give a more
actionable example, along with relevant parts of your configuration
and Org/Emacs versions?

Thanks,

Sorry for being unclear, I'll try to rephrase what I am talking about.

It is set to integrate, but I tested it and it does not seem to matter.

Sorry, again. I am talking about "nested" plain lists:

 At this point I created the empty item with M-RET. If I then press TAB,
it demotes this item, which is also mentioned here:
https://orgmode.org/org.html#Plain-Lists [1].

 So far, so good. But if I then press TAB again, we go back to this:

 Whereas I would expect it to move the item to this position:

 If it would do this, it would behave analogous to how it is implemented
for headings, as described at
https://orgmode.org/manual/Structure-Editing.html#Structure-Editing [2]:

> In a new entry with no text yet, the first TAB demotes the entry to become a child of the previous one. The next TAB makes it a parent, and so on, all the way to top level. Yet another TAB, and you are back to the initial level.
 I am using Emacs 26.3 on Windows and this behaviour replicated on a
clean install.

Thank you for your time!

Fixed. Thank you.
