Subject: Bug: Recurring items NEVER show up in timeline unaccompanied
Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 10:43:49 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <op.vsrczbjpzpgdil@hermione2008.sd.cox.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <op.vsj1qyr2zpgdil@hermione2008.sd.cox.net>
You know, I think this may be the same bug I ran into 3 years ago when I
last tried Org-mode. Is there any hope that this will be addressed? I note
that this forum is the only location given for sending bug reports in the
documentation.
Thanks!
Mark
