Over the weekend I upgraded my Emacs from 27.1 (Org 9.3) to 27.2-rc2 (Org 9.4). I noticed that Org mode behaves differently, even with "emacs -Q".
In 27.1, if I visit foo.org and type "* header RET", point is put in the first column. In 27.2, point is put in column 3. AFAIK, I'm not using electric-indent-mode; at least it's not shown in the minor mode list in the modeline. org-adapt-indentation is t in both Emacs 27.1 and Emacs 27.2. Was there a bug fix that went into Org 9.4 such that org-adapt-indentation is now honored? Could the change in behavior be documented in the ORG-NEWS file in Emacs? I already asked about this on emacs-devel; Eli Z. sent me over here. thanks, mike
