Hello org-open-line replicates the table marking character '#' (if present) into the new table line but does not do the same for '*'.
Since the semantics of '#' and '*' are so similar I expect them to be treated identically when opening a new table line. Within defun org-table-insert-row, changing this line: ;; Fix the first field if necessary (when (string-match "^[ \t]*| *[#$] *|" line) to: ;; Fix the first field if necessary (when (string-match "^[ \t]*| *[#*$] *|" line) gives the expected behavior. Can this be fixed? thanks -- --tony
