I can reproduce this behavior if I forget to type the space character after the minus bullet. Bullets need to be followed by a space. This is unfortunately not yet fully enforced, for example the export functions treated (until 5 minutes ago) a line as a bullet even if there is no space, but this was a bug. Items must have a space after the bullet. > > Also, and this might be related -- > I often want to move the newly inserted bullet in a level to > create a nested list --- and that sometimes works using the magic > meta-arrow key --- but more often than not fails. You need M-S- for this, not M-. I did implement this only on M-S-right to show that for bullets it is always the entrire bullet subtree that is being moved, never only the current entry without its children. Hmmm, maybe I chould make this more consistent at some point. Another problem is that the command only changes the indentation by one - you often want to use it at lease twice, and in numbered lists likely even three times to get the desired effect. I am not happy about this myself, but have not come up with a good solution yet. But mayby you are using M-S- an still get the bug? If this is the case, then hopefully you can come up with an example that is reproducable.
