search and destroy bug?

search and destroy bug?

[Fritjof]

When searching for something with C-/-/ and then deleting found  
subheadings with C-k, subheadings at the same level and below the deleted  
subheading is also deleted. The same is true when deleting subheadings  
found with C-/-m.

Reproduce with:

* heading
** 1
** 2
** 3
** 4

Then C-/-/ 2, and C-k the subheading "2", fold and unfold "heading", only  
"1" remains.

Hi Fritjof,

this is because org tries to represent the results as compactly as  
possible.
However, the state of the tree is not strictly like a tree you'd  
create by drilling
into it with only TAB.

For a less compact (and safer) representation, see the variables
org-show-following-heading
org-show-siblings
org-show-entry-blow

These variables give very fine control about how the tree should look  
after various operations.  For example, try

(setq org-show-following-heading '((occur-tree . t) (default . nil)))

Hope this helps

- Carsten
