Sorry, I cannot reproduce on my side using Emacs master, Emacs 27, and Emacs 25. I used the following recipe: 1. cd /path/to/org 2. make clean 3. make 4. emacs -Q -L ./lisp/ -l org -l /tmp/1.el ~/Org/inbox.org 5. M-x org-agenda < t 6. M-x org-todo on the first item selecting "NEXT" state 7. M-x org-agenda-redo-all The 1.el and inbox.org are attached. Can you try to reproduce using the same steps as I did? > pretty-symbols-mode is deprecated, and replaced by > prettify-symbols-mode? From its homepage: https://github.com/drothlis/pretty-symbols Sure. However, prettify-symbols-mode can only work with symbols, while I want to use regexps in my config. So, I keep using pretty-symbols-mode. If it gets broken, I can just fix it. The code is fairly straightforward :)
