Hi list, 

I encounter the following surprising situation when using Org Agenda.

Suppose you have an agenda file which looks like this:
---- test.org ------
* bar
<2011-09-29 Thu 12:00> 
<2011-09-30 Fri 13:00> 


* foo
<2011-09-29 Thu 15:00> 
<2011-09-29 Thu 16:00> 
--------------------

M-x  org-agenda-week-view 
then shows:
--------------------
Week-agenda (W39):
Monday     26 September 2011 W39
Tuesday    27 September 2011
Wednesday  28 September 2011
Thursday   29 September 2011
               8:00...... ----------------
              10:00...... ----------------
  test:       12:00...... bar
              12:00...... ----------------
              13:09...... now - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
              14:00...... ----------------
  test:       15:00...... foo
              16:00...... ----------------
              18:00...... ----------------
              20:00...... ----------------
Friday     30 September 2011
  test:       13:00...... bar
Saturday    1 October 2011
Sunday      2 October 2011

----------------------

What surprises me, is that "foo" only appears once (Thurs 15:00)
although I specified it twice in the agenda file. If the two entries in
question refer to two different days, like "bar" in the above example,
everything works as expected.

Is this a bug? If it is considered a feature I would be interested to
know, how to work around it. 

Thanks, 
Andreas

It's not a bug, it's a feature (although I don't know what it's for -- maybe 
speed).  However, there is a customizable option to switch it off:
org-agenda-skip-additional-timestamps-same-entry

Interesting. git blame and a list search leads quickly to this post
and thread that answers some questions:

Okay, I see.

In my opinion the current default is unsafe, since people can lose
appointments. 

I propose to change the default of
org-agenda-skip-additional-timestamps-same-entry 
as below.

I find as well that it makes sense. Now, it'd be good to know why it wasn't
the case since the beginning. As said by Daniel, this could lower the perf?

Best regards,

This patch has now been accepted - I believe the performance hit will be minor.
I would like to know if this is not the case...
