Nick and Eddward,

Thanks much for the quick replies. While generating a test case, I killed the buffer containing the original .org file and then, when I reloaded it, the problem went away! However, the "shift the cursor to the left" problem has occurred many times before. If I can figure out what sequence puts org mode into this state, I'll let you know.

When I have the cursor in the middle of table and press the up or down

because you have to right-arrow back to the original column, if you
can remember which column that was.

Is there a bugfix or a .emacs hack that would make the up/down keys
keep the cursor in the original table column?


I can't reproduce this on

  GNU Emacs 22.1.50.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.10.11)
  Org-mode version 5.15a
