[PATCH] Fix typographical errors in stuck project help

[Bernt Hansen]

Hi Carsten,

I stumbled across some typos today in version 4.71 when reading through
the org-stuck projects messages.  Patch follows.

I'm having difficulty getting org-stuck-projects working correctly.
When I use the default settings C-a # still wants to include DONE
projects in my stuck project view.  It's probably something silly I'm
not getting right.

Here's my test org file:

---- test.org
#+SEQ_TODO: TODO NEXT | DONE
* First Heading
** TODO Project 1A
** DONE Project 1B
   CLOSED: [2007-04-23 Mon 20:29]
* Second Heading
** Project 2A
*** NEXT Task 1
*** TODO Task 2
** Project 2B
*** TODO Task 1
*** TODO Task 2
---- end of test.org

org-stuck-projects is defined as:

(setq org-stuck-projects
  '("+LEVEL=2/-DONE" ("NEXT") ("INFO")))

but when I ask for stuck projects on this file I get:

List of stuck projects:
  test:       .TODO Project 1A
  test:       .DONE Project 1B
  test:       .Project 2B

Why does project 1B show up in the list?  It's DONE.
I'm confused. :)

Thanks for a great tool!
Bernt

I cannot reproduce this.  I get no projects listed at all, which is 
correct because each of them is either DONE or has a TODO entry.

Are you sure you have not modified org-stuck-projects?  What is its 
value?

M-x describe-variable
org-stuck-projects

shows:

org-stuck-projects is a variable defined in `org.el'.
Its value is 
("+LEVEL=2/-DONE"
 ("NEXT")
 ("INFO"))

I'm using Org-mode version 4.71
and Debian's emacs-snapshot version 20060302-1

The stuck project view has never worked for me.  I'm not a lisp
programmer but is there anything I can do to track down what is going on
here?

Carsten,

I've stripped my .emacs down to only org-related settings

Using org-4.72 exhibits the same behaviour with
GNU Emacs 22.0.95.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of
2007-03-02 on pacem, modified by Debian

I'm not sure what to try next...

Thanks for looking at it
Bernt

---- .emacs ----
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/org-4.72"))

(require 'org-install)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))
(define-key global-map "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(define-key global-map "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
(setq org-log-done t)

;;
;; Enable color highligthing
;;
(global-font-lock-mode 1)

(setq org-stuck-projects
  '("+LEVEL=2/-DONE" ("NEXT") ("INFO")))

(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.

Bernt,

thanks for insisting.  I did find and fix the bug.  Don't know why I 
could not see it before.
