Hi,

it looks like

* TODO task
DEADLINE: <2017-12-14 Do>
SCHEDULED: <2017-12-14 Do>

will find the DEADLINE and SCHEDULE timestamp and display correctly in the agenda while

* TODO task
SCHEDULED: <2017-12-14 Do>
DEADLINE: <2017-12-14 Do>

will still find the SCHEDULED tinestamp but no more the DEADLINE.
I had this sequence in my org templates in the past and had no issues as far as I remember.
Has this behaviour changed?

Freshly creating a new SCHEDULED and DEADLINED timestamp results in the structure below.
Do all tasks now need to have both items in the same line like here:

* TODO task
SCHEDULED: <2017-12-14 Do> DEADLINE: <2017-12-14 Do>

Thank you.
Regards, Rainer
