Hmm. It is happening on the latest melpa install. Or maybe on an earlier version and I'm only seeing it now. I run melpa, no git versions.

Thanks for the hint. I've found that and run it, but get an error because "org-planning-line-re" 'symbols variable is void'. Searching that I see mention that error is indicative of a mixed installation. But when I grep (or ack) for "org-planning-line-re" in the elpa/org-20150216 folder, it doesn't exist. If I rewrite that line to "org-planning-or-clock-line-re", then it works, and I see items get repaired. I can run this on all my Org files, but as you point out, it won't help with tasks that are already messed up with two property drawers. I also don't think I have a mixed install because I cons elpa to the load-path before I access any Org functions.

I've tried to run the code you sent:

But nothing happens. It seems to be an incomplete solution. I tried wrapping it in an interactive function call, but I'm a lisp newbie and it doesn't list the entries with duplicate properties for me, on this system.

  -k.
