Thank you for looking into that issue! I trace the git repo of org-mode (current commit is 50a18201). My todo-keywords are not defined file-local but during emacs startup like this: ,--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | (setq org-todo-keywords | '((sequence "TODO(t)" "|" "DONE(d)") | (sequence "DOIT(i!)" "FEEDBACK(e@/!)" "LINGER(l@/!)" "VERIFY(v!)" "|" "OVER(o!)" "DELEGATED(g@/!)") | (sequence "BUG(b!)" "ASK(a)" "REPORT(r)" "KNOWNCAUSE(k!)" "WATCH(w!)" "|" "STRANGE(s!)" "FIXED(f@/!)") | (sequence "|" "CANCELED(c@)") | (sequence "THINKof(T)" "CHECK(K)" "OPTIMIZE(O)" "CONTINUE(C)" "REPEAT(R)" "MAYBE(M)" "|" "PERFECTED(P)") | (sequence "TODOs" "|" "DONEs") | )) `--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maybe that's the reason why it couldn't be reproduced. Or do I missed something while setting the var "org-todo-keywords"?
