I'm using version 6.25a as checked out of git several hours ago. I've never tried to use this behaviour before, so I can't say when it first occurred.

That's consistent with the behavior you observe: C-u C-c C-c toggles "presence", i.e. whether the checkbox is there or not. To toggle the checkbox, just use C-c C-c.

Ah, that's a little bizarre. For some reason my info file was 6.21, which refers to the single prefix usage. I went to the top level node than went back into the org-mode info and it was 6.25. I say this is bizarre because I update org-mode (and docs) most days and the info has been opened and closed many times since 6.21. The instructions match what you say. Cue the theme from 'The Twilight Zone'... Thanks for your help. -- Cameron Horsburgh Blog: http://spiritcry.wordpress.com/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

On the balance of things I think the new behaviour makes most sense. I'm more puzzled as to why the info file changed from 6.21 to 6.25 when I went looking for the version number. If I find any dead cats in the box I'll be sure to let you know. -- Cameron Horsburgh Blog: http://spiritcry.wordpress.com/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
