When I clock into a task, I get a nice notification in my mode line. Except there's always been this one thing that confuses me. With an effort property on the task, the mode line looks like this: [0:00/0:30] (the task headline) But with no effort property set, the mode line looks like this: [0:00 (the task headline)] Note that the headline is outside the square brackets in the first case, and inside in the second case. Does that look inconsistent to anybody else? I would have expected the no-effort-property case to look like this: [0:00] (the task headline) The next email contains a patch I've been using to make the two consistent, in case this makes sense to you all. FYI, I signed the FSF copyright paperwork a long time ago. Cheers! Trevor
