Re: possible org-insert-heading bug?

[Erik Iverson <erikriverson@gmail.com>]

Robert,

I noticed that behavior, too. But that does seem documented under M-<RET>:

"When this command is used in the middle of a line, the line is split
and the rest of the line becomes the new item or headline".

Footnote 10 is referenced, which says:

"If you do not want the line to be split, customize the variable
org-M-RET-may-split-line."

Hope this helps,
--Erik
