Re: [bug] select TODO items and unexpected behaviour

[Mario Frasca <mario@anche.no>]

this behaviour comes after somehow my 
`org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region' became nil.

if I set it back to t, I get the message "Symbol's value as variable is 
void: right".

I had enabled debugging, and my guess is that this might have left the 
value of `org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region' at the 
"inside-looping" setting.  just guessing.
