I wanted to (re-)test these, but now, when doing R, nothing is appended into
my buffer with logged times. Did I do something wrong?

Same with C-u R.

I would privilege coherency of sums above small delay in table appearance. You
know, when we look at tables for chasing time, we really need trustable
figures.

In fact, I don't really understand your argument: if I want quick reports, I
would just choose for the unfiltered view. If I need detailed sums of clocked
times, I would go for the "filtrable" view (by C-u R) and would accept a
little delay.

If you really don't share this vision, could you at least make this
customizable?  TIA.

I'll have a look -- when reports will come back to life.

A couple of days ago, when it still worked, I've just seen something really
painful: all the Org buffers were referenced in that table, even those which
should not participate -- because I did not clock any time in them (for that
or those days).

Plus, having many Org files, in fact, I did not see anymore the lines with the
real time, as there were many lines with 0:00 time before them...

Best regards,
  Seb
