Running under fully updated Windows XP. Summary: in column view of a weekly agenda, the rows showing the days in the week are positioned differently depending on whether or not there is any item for the day. For a test file (see below), this is what I see in column view for the weekly agenda. (You'll need a fixed-width font to view it properly). CATE | ITEM | E | P | A | Week-agenda (W37-W38): Sunday 13 September 2009 Monday 14 September 2009 W38 | Tuesday 15 September 2009 | . | | | Test | TODO task 1 | | | | Wednesday 16 September 2009 | Thursday 17 September 2009 | . | | | Test | TODO task 2 | | | | Friday 18 September 2009 Saturday 19 September 2009 Note the alignment difference between Tuesday and Thursday and the other dates. Note also I am including the CATEGORY in the display, via: (org-columns-default-format "%CATEGORY %35ITEM %Effort{:} %PRIORITY %ALLTAGS") The problem is *NOT* VISIBLE if the %CATEGORY is removed, so one MUST include it to view the problem. This is probably not a issue with a normal agenda, in which there are tasks to do every day. I actually discovered this problem using a custom view, intended to show only appointments for the week. But the test file shows that the problem can be seen even without a custom agenda. By the way, I couldn't show it in this posting, but the Tuesday and Thursday lines, along with their TODO items, have a light grey background, whereas everything else has a white background. This shading problem is odd in appearance, and it happens WHETHER OR NOT %CATEGORY is use, and so would be a separate, but related, fix. Here's the test .org file I used: #+STARTUP: odd #+STARTUP: hidestars #+STARTUP: logdone #+SEQ_TODO: TODO NEXT PENDING | DONE(d!) CANCELLED(c@) #+CATEGORY: Test * Test *** TODO task 1 SCHEDULED: <2009-09-15 Tue> *** TODO task 2 SCHEDULED: <2009-09-17 Thu> === To display the result shown at the top of this message, I open the test.org file in emacs, then type: C-a < a Then in the resulting agenda window, switch to weekly if not already, and get column mode with C-c C-x C-c
