Subject: Bug: org-set-tags duplicates tags in org-tag-persistent-alist
Date: Mon, 11 May 2015 15:09:12 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <A1D8AFD7-E8DA-4ADA-B6FB-8C9B32DD13B4@paulwrankin.com> (raw)

When setting org-tag-alist or org-tag-persistent-alist, calling org-set-tags or org-agenda-set-tags will populate select with both alist tags and any tags from tagged subheadings.

To reproduce:

    $ cat tmp.org
    * TODO task    :tag1:
    $ emacs -Q

    (setq org-tag-persistent-alist
          '(("tag1" . ?1)
            ("tag2" . ?2)))

    M-x eval-last sexp
    M-x find-file RET tmp.org
    M-x org-set-tags

    Inherited:
    Current:    tag1

      [1] tag1   [2] tag2   [t] tag1

"tag1" is duplicated.

This also occurs if tmp.org is added to agenda and org-agenda-set-tags is called, however this bug *compounds* with each additional agenda file containing tagged subheadings, e.g. if org-agenda-files contains five org files, each with subheadings tagged :work: then org-agenda-set-tags will populate with six :work: selections (org-tag-persistent-alist plus each additional file).

This bug appears to have been first reported back in 2012 but not investigated:
