Yes, Eric, thank you, that is a good idea. Now I've found that it is more a feature than a failure – org mode thinks of it as "cleaning up", and it does it automagically together with some commands. There is even a special command for it: C-c n (crux-cleanup-buffer-or-region).
But I cannot find the command to "unclean" the text so that I get again what I've typed – without the whitespace before each (first) line. The reason that I want the text as I type it (without leading whitespace) in is that I want to copy/paste it into other apps, where it is wrong to have the whitespace at the beginning of the line, so I have to erase it by hand (or regexp search/replace). Is there no command to "unclean" the file again?
