org agenda search goes to wrong target location

org agenda search goes to wrong target location

[Samuel Wales]

Very often, when I do a keyword search in the agenda (m-x
agenda RET s), org-agenda-switch-to (RET) goes to the wrong
location in the target file.  To sync it, the easiest way that I have
found so far is
to open all agenda buffers, kill all agenda buffers, open
all agenda buffers, and run the search again.

Is there an easier way?

Thanks.

Does it consistently go to the wrong place?  I've seen issues where the
RET in the agenda goes to the wrong location once but then doing it a
second time it works fine.

Unfortunately I don't have any insight about why this occurs or how to
fix it.

Typically, I try it again to no avail, kill the buffer and try it
again and get an error, then load all agenda files, kill all agenda
files, load all agenda files, run the search again, then it works.

Does this happen only for M-x agenda RET s or for other agenda commands?

It happens in s and in a.

I would love to fix this problem, so I would be very
grateful if anyone could come up with a testcase that
is reproducible.1

Do others experience it?

Another bug, probably unrelated, is that if the outline buffer is
nonexistent and you RET on an agenda line, you get wrong type argument
integer of marker p, nil.

  goto-char(nil)
  (let* ((marker ...) (buffer ...) (pos ...)) (switch-to-buffer
buffer) (and delete-other-windows (delete-other-windows)) (widen)
(goto-char pos) (when (org-mode-p) (org-show-context ...)
(save-excursion ...)))
  org-agenda-switch-to()
  call-interactively(org-agenda-switch-to)

Perhaps it could be fixed by loading the file?  Or is the agenda
buffer useless when the buffer is not there?

Thanks.

The agenda uses markers, and these marker become useless when you  
remove a buffer.

Still a huge problem.

Noticed another, much less of a problem.  I recently did RET on an id
link and it went to the wrong location.  I went back and did it again
and it was OK.  Related?  Completely unrelated?

Thanks.
