I have to disagree here. This is a normal circumstance:
        iteimze <F5> Bla1 <ENTER> <Alt-I> Bla2 <ENTER> Bla3 (oups,
        forgot to press Alt-I) <Pos1> <Alt-I>
Ausgabe:
\begin{itemize}
\item Bla1
\item Bla2
B\item la3
\end{itemize}<++>

Or is the result different with your setup?

Another point to support my view:

\begin{itemize}
1\item 234
1\item 234
12\item 34
123\item 4
\end{itemize}

This was created by writing:

\begin{itemize}
1234
1234
1234
1234
\end{itemize}

And then pressing <Alt-I> before the 1,2,3 and 4. The first two
shouldn't result in the identical line, IMHO.

It works for the first case, but the other cases are not optimal,
either:

\begin{itemize}
\item 1234
\item 1234
1\item 234
12\item 34
\end{itemize}

What I'd expect as a user is:

\begin{itemize}
\item 1234
1\item 234
12\item 34
123\item 4
\end{itemize}

i.e., the "\item " is inserted exactly at the current cursor position.

Thanks for reading the trough, and if you agree, please consider
reverting the severity.

Thanks,
Joachim
