I'm using a current git version (Org-mode version 6.34trans (release_6.34c.67.g25f76f)). I had a quick look at the code, and it seems the problem is in `org-agenda-align-tags'. BTW: Is it really a good decision to propertize the text algorithmically in the functions building the agenda? I'm not sure, but it might be easier to define some `org-agenda-font-lock-keywords' like it's done for org files, too. Bye, Tassilo
