I also searched for timeline and although there was a fair amount of activity in 2008, none of it seemed related to this bug (I might have overlooked it of course). Can you provide a pointer to the bug report? Be that as it may, it will certainly be addressed when somebody provides a patch and the maintainer applies it. *When* that will be is anybody's guess of course (remember, everybody is a volunteer here with a day job that might or might not leave much time for org bug fixing). But generally speaking, once a bug bubbles to the surface, it does not stay a bug for long. And finally: this is the right place to post bug reports. HTH, Nick PS. BTW, if you gave up on org because the timeline was not working, you have been missing out on a bunch of good things :-) Even with a broken timeline, org is incredibly useful. And some of us (both Chris and I e.g., who have been most active in the recent discussion) have never used the timeline at all...
