The following bug, reported in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2001-11/msg00234.html, still
exists in the CVS trunk:
From: Daniel Ortmann <dortmann@lsil.com>
Subject: todo-mode: pressing "I" when at the end of the line inserts the todo
information at the END of the current line
To: bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org
Date: 06 Nov 2001 12:36:08 -0600
> Pressing "I" when at the end of the line inserts the todo information at
> the END of the current line. It should add the new information to the
> FRONT of the current line.

I pointed out that `I' (todo-insert-item-here) in fact inserts a new
Todo entry anywhere and that, while this behavior is strictly consistent
with the doc string, it is generally undesirable, and provided a patch
to restrict the entry point. The patch was not committed to CVS, which
is just as well, since it was deficient. Nevertheless, the existing
definition remains buggy -- it could result in making the new entry
inaccessible to Todo mode commands. For example, let a Todo mode
category contain the following:
*/* 2009-01-27 15:30 steve: This is item1.
Place point between "is" and "item1", type `I' and at the prompt `This
is item2.'; now the category looks like this:
*/* 2009-01-27 15:30 steve: This is*/* 2009-01-27 15:30 steve: This is item2.
item1.
The new entry is not recognized as such by Todo mode commands. The
attached patch fixes this by consistently inserting the new entry
directly above the current entry (unless point is on an empty line, then
it inserts the new entry there).

* calendar/todo-mode.el (todo-insert-item-here): Prevent insertion
of a new entry inside of an existing entry. Minor code cleanup.
