M-RET vs C-RET

[Sebastien Vauban <sva-news-D0wtAvR13HarG/iDocfnWg@public.gmane.org>]

Hello,

In a similar vein to this thread, I've always wondered if the following
is normal or not.

Having such a file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** TODO Research

- Who are the competitors?
- What are our product's advantages?
- Target market
- Elevator pitch|

Check out with Laura...

** TODO Define priorities
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If I want to cut the task into 2 at the point of the cursor (vertical
bar, after "pitch"), I thought doing M-RET or C-RET were the way to go.

But:

- M-RET inserts a new item in the list
- C-RET inserts a new headline... but after the Lorem paragraph.

That's only a minor annoyance to me. I often just undo, and type "**"
myself.

If you think that the above is expected, just forget about this.

Or, maybe, I do have to (un)set some variable?

Best regards,
  Seb
