[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Thank you for the advice!

Indeed, (setq org-table-auto-blank-field nil) does fix my problems – no more disappearing Korean characters!

Adding the said line in my .emacs works for me, but I believe adding a line in .emacs doesn’t count as a bug fix… (am I right?)

I think it’s a problem arising from Korean input method and org-table input method. Both are excellent codes but I guess org-table was written without consideration of a language other than English.

I did some research and in org-table.el, function orgtbl-self-insert-command seem to be related, though I’m not sure where the problem begins…

I’m appending the function definition (although I’m sure you’ll have no problem finding it)

(defun orgtbl-self-insert-command (N)
  "Like `self-insert-command', use overwrite-mode for whitespace in tables.
If the cursor is in a table looking at whitespace, the whitespace is
overwritten, and the table is not marked as requiring realignment."
  (interactive "p")
  (if (and (org-at-table-p)
              (or
               (and org-table-auto-blank-field
                     (member last-command
                                '(orgtbl-hijacker-command-100
                                   orgtbl-hijacker-command-101
                                   orgtbl-hijacker-command-102
                                   orgtbl-hijacker-command-103
                                   orgtbl-hijacker-command-104
                                   orgtbl-hijacker-command-105
                                   yas/expand))
                     (org-table-blank-field))
               t)
              (eq N 1)
              (looking-at "[^|\n]* \\( \\)|"))
      (let (org-table-may-need-update)
           (delete-region (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1))
           (self-insert-command N))
    (setq org-table-may-need-update t)
    (let* (orgtbl-mode
              a
              (cmd (or (key-binding
                          (or (and (listp function-key-map)
                                      (setq a (assoc last-input-event function-key-map))
                                      (cdr a))
                                (vector last-input-event)))
                         'self-insert-command)))
      (call-interactively cmd)
      (if (and org-self-insert-cluster-for-undo
                  (eq cmd 'self-insert-command))
             (if (not (eq last-command 'orgtbl-self-insert-command))
                 (setq org-self-insert-command-undo-counter 1)
               (if (>= org-self-insert-command-undo-counter 20)
                     (setq org-self-insert-command-undo-counter 1)
                 (and (> org-self-insert-command-undo-counter 0)
                        buffer-undo-list
                        (not (cadr buffer-undo-list)) ; remove nil entry
                        (setcdr buffer-undo-list (cddr buffer-undo-list)))
                 (setq org-self-insert-command-undo-counter
                         (1+ org-self-insert-command-undo-counter))))))))

The if statement seem to be t for Korean input for some reason… Could you take another look into it please?

Thank you very much

Sincerely,

Thanks for taking the time to provide an image, that's useful.

Can you try setting this:

(setq org-table-auto-blank-field nil)

Do you still have disappearing cells?
