I think I was the other person who mentioned this ages ago. I'm still seeing this 'go to the wrong place' scenario up to a few times per day. It's really annoying - you 'go to' a task and it's the wrong place -- but if you do it again it works. I've seen this occur in the following cases: - looking at an agenda and hitting SPC or TAB to get to the task - jumping to the last refile task with C-u C-u C-c C-w - jumping to the last remember task with C-u C-u C-M-r With follow mode on I've never noticed this bug but I don't use follow-mode regularly. Let me know if you can think of anything I can provide to help track down this bug. Regards, Bernt
