indent fixup error on refile (more details)

indent fixup error on refile (more details)

[Michael Gilbert]

Hi —

This is a resend of an earlier message, with more detail from the debugger below.

I'm afraid I don't know exactly where this error was introduced (I do nightly updates) and I have been on travels and haven't been monitoring the list closely. So I apologize in advance is this is a lousy error message. But I wanted to put it out there in case it was already something that had someone's attention....

When I refile from the agenda, I will frequently get this error:

	org-fixup-indentation: Invalid search bound (wrong side of point)

The item is copied to the new location (as the new topmost item in the location), but the indentation, as you might expect, is incorrect. Also as you might expect, the  item is not deleted from its original location. Bulk refiles stop after just messing up the first one, of course.

Anyone else experiencing this? Has it been discussed and I just didn't managed to search for it properly?

Debugger results:

New information:

I am pretty sure this only happens when the item to be refiled has a Properties drawer.

I am guessing the pointer to fix the indentation isn't moving to the correct location somehow....

Anyone who knows more than me about this (which is 90% of you): Any ideas?
