Commit 44ec473c199262d89b372d8a6cd35bed7672164d from Feb. 23 causes org-set-tags-command to move the cursor forward 1 char when situated on headline asterisks.
So if I am on the following level 1 headline with the cursor on the asterisk as below... * Headline ^ ...and I call org-set-tags command, it moves the cursor forward one space: * Headline :tag: ^ This is causes problems with org-speed-keys, which requires that the cursor remain on the headline. This commit modified a previous change on Feb. 21 (450452de4b790706d187291f9f71a286f8f62004). But that commit also had problems, since it would move the cursor one asterisk forward on headlines > 1, thus also interfering with org-speed-keys. In my view org-set-tags-command should not move the cursor except to fix the very specific thing that commit 450452de4b was meant to fix: namely the cursor moving when on a blank headline: i.e., from here... *** ^ ...to here... *** :tag: ^ I've attached a patch that corrects the problem, but it would be ideal if we figured out why the cursor is moving in the first place. Best, Matt
