Hello,


I experienced a weird behavior with org-mode while using clocking commands.


Here are the steps to reproduce it:


* Open a new file. 

* Start a new heading (here "This is a test"). Then clock in and out (C-c C-x C-i C-c C-x C-o)


Now, as expected, we have the following:

------------------------------8<------------------------------
* This is a test
  CLOCK: [2012-01-05 jeu. 17:30]--[2012-01-05 jeu. 17:30] =>  0:00
------------------------------>8------------------------------

Now let's undo, with C-_

Again, as expected, we heve the following:

------------------------------8<------------------------------
* This is a test
  CLOCK: [2012-01-05 jeu. 17:30]
------------------------------>8------------------------------

So we're back to the state where a task has been started but not completed, right?

Let's try to clock out again (C-c C-x C-o). Now I have 'No active clock'.

It seems that it does the same thing if I close emacs and open it again. I was asked if I wanted to clock out before closing, tho.

Is that a bug ? Or did I miss something?

Thanks for your help.

Have a nice day.

Hi,

The clock timer and the clock text are two separate things.  If you undo
a closed timestamp then you have an open clock -- but there is no
current task clocking since you clocked out and cleared this
information.  The current clocking task is kept track of in variables in
the org-mode codebase.  You can clock the open task in again and then
clock it out to regenerate the closing time for the task.

HTH,
Bernt
