* bug? - can't set effort from agenda

Running org 7.01h and emacs 23.2.1 on windows XP.

Typing "e" on a task in the daily agenda goes through the steps of
setting the effort, but the change is NOT made in the original org
buffer.  This fails whether or not an effort had already been set
for the task.

Using C-c C-x e in the original org buffer DOES work.

Not sure when this started, as I haven't played with efforts for
some months now.

For me this works. In Agenda Buffer I typed 'e' and then entered
select 2:00 hours and the original task entry got the following lines
added.

  :PROPERTIES:
  :Effort:   2:00
  :END:

I have

Since Noorul can set the effort in the agenda, must be something to do
with me.  (Far) below is the output of org-submit-bug-report.

The problem has now changed though, since I added this line to my two
org files:

#+PRIORITIES: A Z Z

Now when I type "e" on a task in the agenda, and hit a number key to
set the effort, I get the following:

byte-code: Before first headline at position 223 in buffer master.org.

Position 223 is the 1st character of the line following the priorities
line.  I have also seen position 203, which is the first character of
the "priorities" line itself.  Unfortunately, it would be a bit time-
consuming for me to remove the "priorities" line, as I now have a
number of tasks outside of the usual A-C range that would need to be
adjusted first.  Can do it if necessary though.

I have removed the "#+PRIORITIES" line and replaced it with customized
settings (i.e. in .emacs).  Same problem setting effort in the agenda
though:

byte-code: Before first headline at position 203 in buffer master.org

Position 203 is now the beginning of the blank line after my other #+ 
lines and before the first headline.  Here are the lines preceding
position 203:

#+STARTUP: odd
#+STARTUP: hidestars
#+STARTUP: logdone
#+SEQ_TODO: TODO NEXT PENDING | DONE(d!) CANCELLED(c@)
#+TAGS:       [redacted]


Ideas?

Hi George,

why do you keep us guessing about your setup and file.  Post
your setup and an example file (as minimal as possible).
You really do not give us *anything* to hook on to.

What else is needed?  My second post contained the output of 
org-submit-bug-report and, in the section you quoted below, are
the first lines of master.org (the file referred to in the error)
up until the first headline.

I was really too harsh here, my apologies.

However, what we still need is this:

Make your file as small as possible so that it still repeats the bug.

So like


#+STARTUP: odd
#+STARTUP: hidestars
#+STARTUP: logdone
#+SEQ_TODO: TODO NEXT PENDING | DONE(d!) CANCELLED(c@)

* TODO some task
* something with a date
  <2010-10-10 Thu>


etc etc.

Then: how do you construct the agenda view?  Is it the daily agenda,  
or a TODO list.  What does it look like?  In which line is the cursor  
when you press "e"?  Is that line linking to the first task in your  
org file, or the last?

If I can reproduce a bug, I can fix it (well almost always...).

Another wrinkle on this, related to the priority change (A-Z).  If
I try to set the priority in the agenda by typing a comma, and then
entering the (capital) priority letter at the prompt

Priority A-Z, SPC to remove: 

then I get:

org-agenda-priority: Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p, nil

HOWEVER, repeating the comma entry and priority entry again is 
successful.

Construct the agenda view by typing C-c a a while in buffer master.org.
Then in the agenda, type d for daily.

In the agenda, use the up/down arrow keys to move the highlight to the
task of interest, and press e, then use a digit to select the effort.

This example has made one thing clear to me - when I thought that 
setting the effort was not working, it was actually CHANGING THE EFFORT
FOR A DIFFERENT TASK.  The problem is usually observable when setting
the effort in the last three tasks in the agenda, the ones from
the recurring.org file, though sometimes (I think) those have worked
correctly.  The effort change for these last three tasks, when wrong,
will always be to one of the other tasks in recurring.org.

I hope this is sufficient.

An oddity in this example is that typing e also opens a second window 
in the frame (like when spacebar is typed).  Don't recall having seen
this happen before.

The priority setting problem is also observable, but one time only! On 
my first priority setting attempt with these files, I typed the comma 
while the first item in recurring was highlighted and got the:  

org-agenda-priority: Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p, nil

All further attempts worked properly.  Strange.

Have these problems setting effort and priority in the agenda been
forgotten?  There's been no reply in two weeks, and these problems
are not listed under "Open Issues ..." in Worg.

Dear George,

unfortunately I am not able to reproduce this issue.

Sorry about this.

Thanks for trying!  Maybe I (or someone) will find a less-fiddly way to 
reproduce these problems in the future.  Meanwhile, I've been setting 
priorities and efforts in column mode to avoid the intermittent 
problems.  

Many thanks for all your efforts with org-mode.  It is a great
accomplishment, and a tremendously valuable tool.
