There is a problem when= org-clock-rounding-minutes is non-zero, say N. The prob= lem is that the clockin-time of = a task can be N less than the clockout-time of the previ= ous task at certain times. Thus, clock reports can show an extra N mi= nutes total time for each occurrence of this effect.

Consider this.

Set org-clock-roundin= g-minutes to 6. (This allows for tracking time in 0.1 hour increments.)

Create an org file with two= tasks:

* Tasks

** TODO Foo

** TODO Bar

Clock= into Task Foo at, say, 12:54 plus or minus 2 minutes. Its LOGBOOK wi= ll show the expected 12:54 timestamp.

Clock into B= ar at 12:57, which is halfway between 0.90th hour and 1.00th hour.

Result, the clockout time for Foo is rounded up. But= the clockin time for Bar is rounded *down*. Thus, two tasks have sta= rted at the same time.

<= /div>

* = Tasks

** TODO Foo

:LOGBOOK:

&= nbsp; CLOCK: [2019-03-08 Fri 12:54]--[2019-03-08 Fri 13:0= 0] =3D> 0:06

:END= :

** TODO Bar

:LOGBOOK:

= ; CLOCK: [2019-03-08 Fri 12:54]

:END:

So when I use org-mode to track time for my weekly tim= esheet, it will report that my total clocked time for any given day is seve= ral minutes more than the time I've been at work!

I expect that the clockin time of Bar will be the same as the clockout ti= me of Foo.

Is there another variable I need to set= in order to enforce clockin-time=3Dclockout-time?

org-version returns 9.1.2-37
