Delay all occurences for a heading scheduled with repeater not work.

Hi,

In https://orgmode.org/manual/Deadlines-and-Scheduling.html#Deadlines-and-Scheduling

It says:
"If you want to delay the display of this task in the agenda, use ‘SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>’: the task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear two days later. In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled occurrence of the task, use ‘--2d’ instead."

With headings below:
* delay in scheduled with repeater
** TODO delay all occurences
   SCHEDULED: <2020-01-30 Thu -1d +2d>
** TODO delay only the first occurence
   SCHEDULED: <2020-01-30 Thu --1d +2d>

Both headings display in today's agenda (today is <2020-01-31>).
Which is correct.

Then both display in agenda of <2020-02-01>.
Which is not correct for 'delay all occurences'.
It should display in agenda of <2020-02-02>.

Please help check if this should be fixed.
Thank you!

Thanks,
hhkg

Yes, this should be fixed and this is now fixed in the maint branch,
it will be part of the next bugfix (if any) or major release.

This was quite tricky to solve, please test it carefully.

Just bumping up this thread to confirm the bug is still there.

i see the problem.  but i get confused about the real-world purpose of
this feature.  is the idea that technically someplace in the real
world you are supposed to work on it but you have decided not to and
you don't want the agenda to show it until you will work on it?

I'm just bumping this thread because this issue is still open, I'll
review it before Org 9.5.
