Bug? Bike 2 promote row with children

Bike and Bike 2 behave differently when you type shift+tab to promote a row with siblings to become a parent of the siblings.

  • Bike 1 promotes the row and preserves the siblings underneath the promoted row ( This is expected behaviour.)
  • Bike 2 promotes the row to the bottom of the siblings so that it is now effectively disconnected from it’s siblings.

Outline before promotion of row

Outline after in Bike 1: Expected behaviour

Outline after in Bike 2:

Also another bug when you create a new document the blinking insert cursor is invisible until you start typing. Is this expected behaviour?

Yes, I believe this was one of the core ideas for Bike 2.0 ever since Jesse announced his plans for it—indent/outdent behaves like an outliner and not like a text editor. In Bike2, you are actually promoting a row to a higher level in the hierarchy vs. just outdenting it. Because of that, its former siblings stay inside their original parent.
You would get the same behavior in Bike1 in outline mode.

Thanks I understand this now. It even works with ordered lists reordering the siblings and parent.
