Bug: Column view does not function properly in Agenda buffers [7.7]

Bug: Column view does not function properly in Agenda buffers [7.7]

[Christian Schmidt]

  Hi,

  column-view gets confused in agenda buffers.
Please try my minimal example:

My example:
===========
#+begin_src org
* NEXTACTION [#B] Test                                        :Tag:
   SCHEDULED: <2011-08-07 So>
#+end_src

My config:
==========
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-columns-default-format
       "%65ITEM(Task) %TODO %3PRIORITY %TAGS")
(setq org-todo-keywords
       (quote ("NEXTACTION" "WAITING" "MAYBE" "DONE")))
#+end_src

My commands:
============
C-c a L         --> Agenda buffer
C-c C-x C-c     --> column-view invoked inside Agenda buffer

The Result:
===========
NEXTACTION | B | NEXTACTION [#B] Test  | :Tag: | | | 2011-08-07 So |

The Bug:
========
Unfortunately the column ITEM (3rd one) does not get cleaned up from
priority "[#B]" and status "NEXTACTION".


Looking for help,
Christian

Please test against latest git and confirm this is fixed (or not).

Thanks,

I can confirm, that this bug is fixed! This is just brilliant! Thank
you very much!

May I dare to ask for your help on two follow-up concerns?

The result I get with the latest git:
=====================================
NEXTACTION | B | * Test  | :Tag: | | | 2011-08-07 So |

The first minor concern:
========================
There is a leading star '*' in front of the ITEM.
Could you remove this star '*', too?

The second minor concern:
=========================
In a column-view, that is invoked inside Agenda buffer, there are
lines, that seperate the todos for each day in the agenda. In version
7.5 those lines contained the corresponding date to give orientation.

In our example with version 7.5 I get:
======================================
  | | Sonntag     7 August 2011  |   |   |   |   |

In version 7.7 this line is just empty. :-(


I don't want to appear greedy and I am already content with your
bugfix so far. But maybe you've got the time to look after my two
minor concerns mentioned above.

Thank you very much,
Christian

Is this with a standard agenda view?  Which one?
If that's from an `org-agenda-custom-commands' can you share it?

I'll try to fix the problem when I fully understand it :)

I can confirm, that this bug is fixed, too. Thanks a lot!

It is with a standard agenda view:

My commands:
============
C-c a L         --> Timeline for current buffer (standard)
C-c C-x C-c     --> column-view invoked inside Agenda buffer

My example:
===========
#+begin_src org
* NEXTACTION [#B] Test1             :Tag_A:
   SCHEDULED: <2011-08-20 Sa>
* DONE Test2                        :Tag_B:
   SCHEDULED: <2011-08-20 Sa>
* WAITING [#C] Test3                :Tag_C:
   SCHEDULED: <2011-08-21 So>
* NEXTACTION [#A] Test4             :Tag_A:
   SCHEDULED: <2011-08-22 Mo>
#+end_src

The result in version 7.5:
==========================
            |   | Samstag    20 August 2011     |        | | |               |
NEXTACTION | B | Test1                         | :Tag_A:| | | 2011-08-20 Sa |
DONE       |   | Test2                         | :Tag_B:| | | 2011-08-20 Sa |
            |   | Sonntag    21 August 2011     |        | | |               |
WAITING    | C | Test3                         | :Tag_C:| | | 2011-08-21 So |
            |   | Montag     22 August 2011 W34 |        | | |               |
NEXTACTION | A | Test4                         | :Tag_A:| | | 2011-08-22 Mo |


The result in version 7.7 (git yesterday):
==========================================
            |   |                               |        | | |               |
NEXTACTION | B | Test1                         | :Tag_A:| | | 2011-08-20 Sa |
DONE       |   | Test2                         | :Tag_B:| | | 2011-08-20 Sa |
            |   |                               |        | | |               |
WAITING    | C | Test3                         | :Tag_C:| | | 2011-08-21 So |
            |   |                               |        | | |               |
NEXTACTION | A | Test4                         | :Tag_A:| | | 2011-08-22 Mo |

The Bug:
========
I am missing the lines that contain the name of the days and the
date. In the example above, the first line contains "Samstag    20
August 2011".

I hope, that I did explain the bug clearly. Please let me know, if I
can add some information to help you locating the bug.

Please note: I am on vacation for two weeks from now. Thus I will not
answer emails until 2nd of September.

Best,
Christian
