Subject: bug#45915: 28.0.90; deletechar distorts org-table
Date: Tue, 07 Dec 2021 17:43:40 +0900

I confirm that there still is the problem with org-table on Emacs
28.0.90 pretest with org-version 9.5.1.

Here is a recipe to reproduce the problem.  I still have to stick to
26.3.

 1. emacs -Q
 2. (defun emacs-bug-reproduce-45915 () ...)
 3. (call-interactively 'emacs-bug-reproduce-45915)

(defun emacs-bug-reproduce-45915 ()
  "Reproduce bug#45915."
  ;; (gnus-read-ephemeral-emacs-bug-group 45915)
  (interactive)
  (with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "*temp buffer*")
    (erase-buffer)
    (require 'org)
    (orgtbl-mode 1)
    (insert (format "emacs-version: %s, org-version: %s\n" emacs-version org-version))
    (insert "|   | rownames |
| / | <l>      |
|---+----------|
|   | a        |"))
  (switch-to-buffer-other-window "*temp buffer*")
  (execute-kbd-macro (kbd "M-< C-n C-n C-n C-n C-f C-f"))
  (message "I will hit S-<return>.")
  (sit-for 2)
  (execute-kbd-macro (kbd "S-<return>"))
  (message "I will hit <delete>.")
  (sit-for 2)
  (execute-kbd-macro (kbd "<delete>"))
  (message "I will call previous-line.")
  (sit-for 2)
  (call-interactively 'previous-line))

>>> 4. Hit <S-return>.
>>> 5. Hit <deletechar>.
>>> 6. Hit <up>.
