Hello,
I experienced a weird behavior with org-mode while using clocking commands.
Here are the steps to reproduce it:
* Open a new file.
* Start a new heading (here "This is a test"). Then clock in and out (C-c C-x C-i C-c C-x C-o)
Now, as expected, we have the following:
------------------------------8<------------------------------
* This is a test
CLOCK: [2012-01-05 jeu. 17:30]--[2012-01-05 jeu. 17:30] => 0:00
------------------------------>8------------------------------
Now let's undo, with C-_
Again, as expected, we heve the following:
------------------------------8<------------------------------
* This is a test
CLOCK: [2012-01-05 jeu. 17:30]
------------------------------>8------------------------------
So we're back to the state where a task has been started but not completed, right?
Let's try to clock out again (C-c C-x C-o). Now I have 'No active clock'.
It seems that it does the same thing if I close emacs and open it again. I was asked if I wanted to clock out before closing, tho.
Is that a bug ? Or did I miss something?
Thanks for your help.
Have a nice day.

Hi,
The clock timer and the clock text are two separate things. If you undo
a closed timestamp then you have an open clock -- but there is no
current task clocking since you clocked out and cleared this
information. The current clocking task is kept track of in variables in
the org-mode codebase. You can clock the open task in again and then
clock it out to regenerate the closing time for the task.
HTH,
Bernt
