Hi Carsten,
I recently noticed that using SPACE or TAB in the agenda displays the
task in the other window but all of the drawers are exposed. If you
fold the org file with S-TAB to Overview or Contents display and then
switch to the agenda and SPACE or TAB on a folded task it unfolds the
entire thing including the drawers.
Expanding the file to SHOW ALL and then using follow mode from the
agenda shows me the view I'm really looking for so that's what I'm doing
as a workaround right now.
While doing my weekly review of tasks I use follow mode to view task
detail and the expanded :LOGBOOK: and :PROPERTIES: drawers hide detail
scrolled off the bottom of the window. My :LOGBOOK: drawer for repeated
tasks tends to be l-o-n-g and shoves detail way down the file (such as
my weekly review checklist :) ).
Is it possible to control expansion of the drawers when displaying a
task from the agenda? The view I'm looking for is the same as SHOW ALL
from S-TAB. It seems that if the task is expanded from the agenda it
expands everything including the drawers.
Thanks,
Bernt

This seems to have been a confused Emacs session on my part. After
restarting it no longer behaves as described above (it doesn't expand
tasks past the headline by default -- which is the old behaviour I
remember)
My Emacs was definitely behaving weird - C-x o would cycle from the
agenda, to the org file, to the message window, then back to the agenda
with 2 windows open (and the message buffer). After restarting emacs it
just cycles between the agenda and the org file (as expected).
Sorry for the noise,
-Bernt

That often happens to me when I have a half-finished command in the
minibuffer and I switch to another window and start on something else
(at least, I *think* that's what happens - it's not intentional on my
part, so it's hard to tell exactly what the heck I was doing. And
speaking about that, I just remembered that there is a help command,
``C-h l'', that shows the last few hundred keystrokes, so it might be
possible to use that to figure out what I was doing.)
The cure usually involves
M-x top-level
which exits from all recursive editing levels and all active
minibuffers.
HTH,
Nick

Thanks Nick!
If it happens again I'll try this out.

Resurrecting an old thread:
Bernt: I'm experiencing the issue you describe above (i.e., drawers
revealed when following a headline from the agenda) after restarting
emacs. I have not been able to solve the problem.
I was wondering if you had customized the variables org-show-entry-below
and org-show-hierarchy-above? I have not customized these variables,
which makes it even more unusual that the drawers are revealed when
following a headline from the agenda, since the default for
org-show-entry-below is nil.
Thanks,
Matt

The agenda often exposes the cause for the appearance in
the agenda (exception: properties), so if this is a
scheduled item, the scheduled timestamp is in the entry
text below the headline, which is why the content of the
entry is shown.

Thanks for explaining. At the risk of adding to your todo list (hmm... I
wonder what tool you use to manage it), would it be possible to display
the SCHEDULED item without displaying the drawers beneath it? The
docstring for drawers states that drawers will not be opened during
normal cycling. Is it correct to expect the same behavior with
org-agenda-goto, or is the mechanism different?
,----[ C-h v org-drawers RET ]
| ....
| Documentation:
| Names of drawers. Drawers are not opened by cycling on the headline above.
| Drawers only open with a TAB on the drawer line itself.
`----
Thanks,
Matt

I actually think it is a bug that drawer contents are shown in this way,
so I fixed it instead of giving control over it.

O.K. You can ignore my previous email.
So that's the secret of your success. You do things so quickly that they
don't even make it into your org files. :)

Well, the 2 minute rule (OK, sometimes the 5 minutes rule) is very
important
to how I work :-)
