Subject: SCHEDULED property behavior not compatible with habits? Confused: How to make this work? #orgmode

Hello,

having tried out the "habits" module after studying the manual on TODOs and
scheduling, I cannot make habits work. Reason:

When I set the :SCHEDULED: property of a node with a repetition interval
such as: <2013-09-27 Fri .+1d>, then changing the TODO status from TODO to
DONE will

   1. change the status back to TODO (so that the item stays scheduled for
   a next time)
   2. change the date of SCHEDULED to one day after the date of completion
   of the task

This is consistent with the description in the manual at 8.3.2 Repeated
tasks, and makes sense. However, it interferes with habits, because it
changes the date from which the tracking of the habit repetition of the
task is being tracked. This means that this node disappears from the habit
display in the agenda. Also, it undoes the configured logging mechanism
(for example, note+timestamp for DONE state.

Am I overseeing something? Surely it must be my mistake. I saw habits at
work in the chat of Sacha Chua with Bastien Guerry (
http://sachachua.com/blog/2013/07/emacs-chat-sacha-chua-with-bastien-guerry/)
and was quite impressed. But I could not repeat the same results as I saw
on Sacha's screen.

Cheers,

Iannis Zannos
