Subject: Bug: Recurring items don't always show up in timeline
Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2011 11:58:00 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <op.vsj1qyr2zpgdil@hermione2008.sd.cox.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <op.vscvbiy0zpgdil@hermione2008.sd.cox.net>
I posted this before as a question, but since it has been confirmed by
others, and shows up under Linux and Windows, I'll now post the details as
a bug.
The Timeline view *would* be very useful for scheduling months in advance,
reviewing history, or printing a year event calendar. Unfortunately, it
appears that it can't really be trusted.
The basic problem is that in AGENDA TIMELINE view ("C-a L") recurring
items are frequently and unpredictably dropped from the view. The regular
AGENDA view works fine AFAIK -- its the TIMELINE that is at issue.
Below is a version of the calendar I'm using. There are two date ranges as
well as regular dates. It might be that recurring events that occur on
days that are inside of a date range do not show up. But not necessarily.
On mine, "Bath for dog" doesn't show up on April 14th, for instance which
happens to be inside of a date range. The Pay Cell Phone item does not
occur 90 days later (about 4/15) which would also be inside of a date
range. BUT it also does not occur on or near 7/15, which is not inside of
a date range.
Likewise, the "Do this every 3 months" item does not show up in June, even
though it would not fall inside of a date range.
If there's some magic incantation that will make this data work, it would
be nice to know ;-)
