Re: [O] org-indent-mode and erratic checkbox behavior?

[ardumont]

Hello,

Just for completeness purpose, if someone else comes across the same
behavior and does the same wrong judgment.

There is an issue opened about it on git-gutter - "with org mode, the
indention is dancing around crazily" - 
https://github.com/syohex/emacs-git-gutter/issues/24.

Cheers,
