Hi, Below is an attached org mode file where I have some strange behaviour in column view, I expect it to be a bug. The problem: if the entire headline consists of a link, you cannot properly move through all columns, some columns are skipped.
To reproduce: 1. Open attached test.org 2. Enter column view (org-columns) 3. Set point to =** Org Mode= heading 4. Press <RIGHT> three times, you are now in column 'Two' 5. Press <RIGHT> once more. Expected behaviour: We have moved one column to the right, to column 'Three'. Actual behaviour: We skip columns 'Three' and 'Four' and go straight to the text of the headline. To contrast, I have a headline =** [#A] Emacs= that has non-link text (=[#A]=). For this heading, all works well: pressing <RIGHT> when in column 'Two' moves point one column to the right, to 'Three'. Asciinema recording that might make it more clear: https://asciinema.org/a/teyMes9QxrKc2SdeVq1pz9QK0 Org mode version 9.7.11 (release_9.7.11 @ /usr/share/emacs/30.2/lisp/org/) GNU Emacs 30.2 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.50, cairo version 1.18.4) but it also happens on latest main, Org mode version 9.8-pre (release_9.7.35-222-gdf5628 @ /home/rens/Projects/org/org-mode/lisp/) Am I doing something wrong? The issue is reasonably fixed by just adding priorities, so it is not a big deal. However, it took me a while to find out what was going wrong and it seems like a bug.
#+title: Column view When you are in column view and a headline consists solely of a link, moving through the column view does not work as expected: it skips some fields. * Elements :PROPERTIES: :COLUMNS: %40ITEM %PRIORITY(P) %One %Two %Three %Four :END: ** [[https://orgmode.org/][Org Mode]] This entire headline is a link. This means that you cannot select the column =Three= using =<RIGHT>=, point goes from =Two= to the text of the heading. ** [#A] [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Emacs]] This headline has some non-link text (=[#A]=). This means that you /can/ go to all properties in column view. This is as expected.
