Hi list,
I've been having a problem where my agenda column format is ignored every
other time I load or refresh the agenda, which makes it very hard to use.
When this happens, I see the following error in *Messages*: "Making
org-agenda-overriding-columns-format buffer-local while locally let-bound!"
which led me to experiment and find that when I delete the following lines
from the org-agenda-finalize function, the problem seems to be fixed:
- (if (and (boundp 'org-agenda-overriding-columns-format)
- org-agenda-overriding-columns-format)
- (org-set-local 'org-agenda-overriding-columns-format
- org-agenda-overriding-columns-format))
I'm wondering what these lines were intended to do, and if it's safe to
delete them.
My org-agenda-custom-commands value is:
'(("n" "Agenda and all TODO's" ((agenda "" nil) (alltodo "" nil)) nil)
("r" "Russ Agenda" agenda ""
((org-agenda-overriding-header "Russ Agenda")
(org-agenda-view-columns-initially t)
(org-agenda-overriding-columns-format "%80ITEM %TAGS %7TODO
%5Effort{:} %6CLOCKSUM{Total}"))
("~/public_html/agenda.html"))
("q" "Russ Todos" alltodo ""
((org-agenda-view-columns-initially t)
(org-agenda-overriding-columns-format "%80ITEM %TAGS %7TODO
%20SCHEDULED %5Effort{:} %6CLOCKSUM{Total}")
(org-agenda-skip-function (quote (org-agenda-skip-entry-if (quote
todo) (quote ("DEFERRED")))))
(org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote (scheduled-up effort-up))))
("~/public_html/todo.html"))
)

It's most probably the wrong thing to do. For one, you are not supposed
to set org-agenda-overriding-columns-format. The docstring says:
,----
| org-agenda-overriding-columns-format is a variable defined in `org-colview.el'.
| Its value is nil
|
| Documentation:
| When set, overrides any other format definition for the agenda.
| Don't set this, this is meant for dynamic scoping.

You probably should use org-agenda-columns-current-fmt instead of
org-agenda-overriding-columns-format. Untested and quite possibly
wrong, or at least not the whole story; but until an agenda expert
chimes in, it might be a useful first step.
