Hi Russell,

I see you are right. It seems that i have been going into strenuous lengths
to brake orgmode manually, by splitting the DEADLINE / SCHEDULE properties
on separate lines manually every time I am inserting a new item! After
reverting them back to the first line only, it seems everything is working
fine!

I agree though, that it might be beneficial to change this feature to use
the PROPERTY drawers instead.

Cheers,
D.
