org-mode habit consistency graph not displaying

["Brenda J. Butler" <bjb@sourcerer.ca>]

I have a question up at stackoverflow:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38031463/org-mode-habit-consistency-graph-not-displaying



Here is the content of the question and update:

org-version 8.3.4 (elpa package, 20160530)
emacs 24.4.1 (Debian package, Installed: 24.4+1-4.1~bpo70+1)

When I started using org-mode from elpa, the habit consistency graph
stopped showing. I was using a version of org-mode that comes with
debian before, with emacs 23 and the graph showed.

I'm a beginner in emacs lisp, but anyway I tried stepping through the
org-agenda-list function and found the org-agenda-finalize function
where the org habit graph is supposed to be inserted via the
org-habit-insert-consistency-graphs function. But it skips over that
function, probably because this expression returns false:

    (next-single-property-change (point-min) 'org-habit-p))

At this point, I don't know what to do to make habits show. This is
the first time I've looked at org-mode code, I don't know what the
above test is for.

Help, please?

UPDATE: 2016-06-25. I upgraded the org-mode package to elpa, 20160620
(still org-version 8.3.4). Still have the same behaviour. I am getting
the package from elpa.gnu.org.

UPDATE 2: 2016-07-02: I did try pressing K (for
org-habit-toggle-habits). It didn't change the contents of the buffer
visibly. I also tried refreshing the buffer after typing K. And
repeating the experiment, in case the K put emacs in the wrong mode
the first time.


Thanks for whatever help you can send ...
