Finally, I've understood the problem. Testprojekt does not appear on my stuck projects list, because I've enabled org-enforce-todo-dependencies and I use (org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks 'invisible). Testprojekt is just hidden in the stuck projects, as is every project with any kind of non-closed sub task. Perhaps org-agenda-list-stuck-projects should ignore the value of org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks in general?

Currently, I use the following function to circumvent the hiding of my stuck projects.

(defun jmg/stuck-projects ()
 (interactive)
 (let ((org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks nil))
   (org-agenda-list-stuck-projects)
   ))

Is it possible to bind it to the standard agenda shortcut C-c a # ? Or to achieve the same effect just with special agenda command configuration?

Thanks, for your help.

Regards,
Jean
