Hi Nicolas,

Thanks, that's interesting.

When I do Meta-Shift-Right on your example (with, as in yours, the
region set to the first two lines):

* H1
** H11
* H2

I get 

* H1
*** H11
* H2

It's not a problem with key binding, because I get the same result if I
execute the command 'org-demote-subtree'.

Regards

Ron

Hello,

I cannot reproduce it. E.g., in the following document, where region
boundaries are marked with |,

  |* H1
  ** H11|
  * H2

using M-Right gives

  ** H1
  *** H11
  * H2
