Hi List,
is this a bug or a feature:
in all 4 following examples point is in cell 1x1 when calling
,-----------------------
| M-x org-table-next-row
`-----------------------
| A | B |
| | |
| 1 | 2 |
| | |
| \ | / |
| | |
but
| # | b |
| # | |
For me at least it breaks a program that looks if e.g. cell 1x1 is
empty, and if it isn't, calls 'org-table-next-row' and then inserts in
new empty cell 2x1.
As it happens, # is among the characters my program tries to insert and
thus it enters an endless loop, since everytime it calls
'org-table-next-row', the new cell in the next-row/same-column will be
filled with # too, and never be empty.
I can't think of a situation where this behaviour could be useful. Its
probably a bug related to the use of '#' as 'comment-start' char in
Org-mode.
