I am trying out the timeline view in 7.4 and am wondering whether this
is expected behavior:
0. create entries with timestamps [1]
1. M-x org-agenda
2. L (Timeline for current buffer)
3. current behavior:
( + is unsurprising, ! is surprising, ? is not sure whether to be
surprised)
+ entries without time information not displayed
+ timestamps without text not displayed
! entries with timestamps display the text, but not the timestamp
+ timestamp ranges with text displayed as-is
? timestamp ranges without text are displayed as-is
? cycling TODO state with "t" in the agenda view causes non-displayed
timestamp to appear
? cycling out of TODO again keeps the timestamp visible
I can understand that TODO will want to read the timestamp information
out, but since ranges without text appear, but single timestamps don't,
maybe there is something unexpected here. I haven't found it mentioned
anywhere yet in my searches, nor have I looked at the code. If this can
be modified via the source or a configuration, I'd greatly appreciate
some advice.
Thanks, and happy holidays!

You used this:
* TODO <2010-12-25 Sat 14:40>-<2010-12-25 Sat 14:50> range with todo
which looks weird.
Better to put the timestamp/range on the next line:
* TODO range with todo
<2010-12-25 Sat 14:40>-<2010-12-25 Sat 14:50>
You won't get the surprising results you see.
HTH,

Isn't it -- (two dashes) for the range purpose?
Best regards,

Shouldn't these timestamps have two dashes between them?
<2010-12-25 Sat 14:40>--<2010-12-25 Sat 14:50>
or
<2010-12-25 Sat 14:40-14:50>
?

The manual advertize two dashes but both work fine here.
I'm myself using two dashes, I just copied the example of
the OP too hastly.
