I understand that blank-number-dot starts a plain list item. But in my example the numbered list would be second level whilst the unordered list would be first level (of indentation). Org-mode rightly inserts a dash but why does it fiddle with another list item of different (second) level when inserting an new first level item? Is this necessary to in order to insert the next dashed item? That's different to your example: > As a side-note, this problem isn't specific to recent versions of Org. > For example, in 6.33, use M-RET at X in the following example: > >> ------------------------------- >> - Several astonishing things happened in >> 2007. And then there was another item.X >> ------------------------------- I see the problem but here the cursor is at a second level item. Therefore it is not astonishing that org-mode produces another one with M-RET. In my case I could see the change of "2007." to "1." because it was so near it was also on the display. But this may happen with list items which are not displayed and therefore one would not recognise the damage... > There are two workarounds I can think of, at the moment: > > 1.
