Hello, from Debian bug #645360 (http://bugs.debian.org/645360):
Here's my test file, call it "c.org": * a ** aa *** aaa I put the cursor at the beginning of the file (at the * in the first line). Then I type C-c C-> (i.e. outline-demote). The result is ** a *** aa *** aaa I expected that the last line (the leaf node "aaa") would become a fourth-level heading, i.e. "**** aaa". Instead, the fourth * that I was hoping for looks like it became a space. There wasn't any patch provided by the submitter. Cheers, --Seb
