Hi Juan Manuel,
I agree that some tricks exist in order to prevent this behavior.
Nevertheless, I think that this bug has been introduced recently (I never
noticed it before) and has to be corrected properly (as this is a really
basic use of org-mode).
Unfortunately, I can barely understand elisp... so writing a patch is far
away from what I can do :/
Best,
Leo
