preserving location of point

preserving location of point

[Eric Abrahamsen]

I'm using org mode of about a week ago, and have noticed that when I
leave point inside a table in org mode, switch to another buffer, and
switch back again, point is placed at the the end of the table. I'm
switching back and forth quite a bit and it's a pain finding my place in
the table again -- I wonder if this is something that could be fixed,
either through a user option or in the source code?

Thanks!
Eric

Hi Eric,

I'm using

GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.11) of 2008-11-09 on raven, modified by Debian
Org-mode version 6.36trans (release_6.36.587.gb482)

and I'm not seeing the behaviour you describe.  If I put the point in a
table field, then C-x C-b *scratch* RET and then move the point in the
scratch buffer and switch back to the original org-mode buffer point is
still in the table exactly where I left it.

An this is what I am using 

GNU Emacs 23.2.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) of 2010-06-08 on sajida
Org-mode version 6.36trans (release_6.36.452.g452b0)

I am also not facing Eric's problem.

Starting with emacs -Q fixes the problem, so I guess it's something I've
done. Thanks for the responses...
