[Orgmode] Re: Org-mode version 6.32trans (release_6.32b.127.g471c2); Clocking out moves point to clock entry

[Bernt Hansen]

I think it's because in my case I have two tasks in the same file I'm
clocking in.

* STARTED first clocking task
...
* TODO second clocking task

and updating the first clocking task moves the point in the buffer on me
so I lose my place (at the second clocking task).  So clocking in the
second task while the first is clocking just moves point to first task,
clocks it out, then clocks it in again (since the point moved)

Does that make sense?
