bug with special entities and (setq org-catch-invisible-edits t)?

bug with special entities and (setq org-catch-invisible-edits t)?

[John Kitchin]

Hi all,

If I have (setq org-catch-invisible-edits t) and run
(org-toggle-pretty-entities), then I get an error if I type: F_{A} and
try to continue typing.

user-error: Edit in invisible region aborted, repeat to confirm with text visible

If I set that variable to nil, it works fine, and it also works fine for
F_A.

This is with:
Org-mode version 8.3.5 (8.3.5-1-g589e96-elpaplus @ /Users/jkitchin/vc/jkitchin-github/scimax/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20160822/)


Is that a bug, or expected?

Thanks,

I would like to know the solution to this too! I faced this just last week.

A workaround was to do "C-q Space" after "F_{A}" instead of just "Space".

I am using almost the latest build of org master branch (updated and built
yesterday).

Somewhere in-between. It's broken, editing sub/super-script can be very
tedious, but the proper behaviour is yet to be defined. The proof is all
the possible values for `org-catch-invisible-edits' (which is mostly
focused on preventing edition of folded contents, and is unrelated to
invisible text like links and sub/super-script).

Maybe brackets in sub/super-scripts not be made invisible, only
minified.

What do you expect instead?

It seems like you should be able to type F_{A} and keep on typing.
Minified would be ok by me.
