Hi, Carsten,

I am excited to try out the new features in 5.19, but one thing I tried 
first is to see whether the "task disappearing" behavior for repeat TODO 
items has changed. Seems it did not. I am not sure whether this is 
considered a bug, but in short the symptom is this:

Suppose I have a repeat task:

* TODO [#A] A repeat task test
  SCHEDULED: <2008-01-15 Tue +1w>

And today is Friday, Jan 18. The task will show in my agenda for today. 
But, if I change the above task to:

* TODO [#A] A repeat task test
  SCHEDULED: <2008-01-14 Mon +1w>

It will disappear from my agenda for today. But it still shows up in my 
agenda for Monday, Jan 14, and Monday, Jan 21. It seems to me that once 
today's date is closer to the next occurrence of a repeat item than the 
overdue one, the item will disappear.

I guess this will push me to finish a repeat task ASAP, but still, I am 
a little bit nervous that something I am suppose to do may disappear 
from my agenda.

Thanks a lot for taking a look of this.

Wanrong
