No, it's nil. Sorry, I was forgetting that not everyone has the same keys! This isn't part of the bug, just a way to make the behaviour more visible. > And what's the value for org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks in your setup? It is "invisible", but I would have expected the item not to appear in the agenda at all rather than leaving a gap. Whether scheduled items should be hidden is an interesting question: if I'm meant to do something at a given time, it would be helpful to know that something is stopping me. That applies even more to deadlines. Peter. P.S. Matt - I have org-enforce-todo-dependencies "t", which is another possible difference that might stop this happening in your case.
