[BUG]? org-agenda-filter-by-tag

[Maximilian Matthé]

Hello,

I'm using current version of org-mode (just pulled). I want to filter my
agenda view (C-c a a) by a Tag. I want the agenda to only show items
that have the tag :pruef: set. 

So I open the agenda (C-c a a) and type / to filter. The minibuffer
says: Filter by tag [ ], [TAB], and so on.

Typing Space hides all items that have a tag set. Typing TAB lets me
type sth. in the minibuffer. But with no tab-completion (tab just
inserts a tab) and pressing Return inserts a newline. C-g gives "Quit"
but the minibuffer stays active. The only solution to get out the
minibuffer is to press ESC ESC ESC. 

I think this is not the right behavior. So, how can I filter the agenda
view for a specified tag?

Regards, Max

Hi Max,

That is definitely _not_ the behaviour I get.

Everything is okay up to here...

It does? Cool - I learned something new today :)  All my tasks have tags
so this returns an empty list for me

I get TAB completion in the minibuffer for tags so something must be
wrong in your setup.

At the 'Tag: ' prompt, if I hit C-h k TAB I get this

,----
| TAB (translated from <tab>) runs the command minibuffer-complete,
| which is an interactive compiled Lisp function.
| 
| It is bound to TAB, <menu-bar> <minibuf> <tab>.
| 
| (minibuffer-complete)
| 
| Complete the minibuffer contents as far as possible.
| Return nil if there is no valid completion, else t.
| If no characters can be completed, display a list of possible completions.
| If you repeat this command after it displayed such a list,
| scroll the window of possible completions.
| 
| [back]
`----

I have a CANCELLED tag, if I type 'caTAB' it completes to CANCELLED for
me.

C-g quits and the minibuffer is no longer active for me.

What version of Emacs and org-mode are you using?

GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) of 2010-11-03
on potassium, modified by Debian
Org-mode version 7.4 (release_7.4)

Typing C-h k TAB in the minibuffer tells me:

TAB (translated from <tab>) runs the command indent-for-tab-command,
which is an interactive compiled Lisp function.

It is bound to TAB.

(indent-for-tab-command &optional arg)

... and so on...


So my binding seems to behave different :(

(org-version) C-x C-e
"Org-mode version 7.3 (release_7.4.2.g32f816)" 
I just pulled some hours ago (but it also happened with 7.3 also)

(emacs-version)
"GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.0)
 of 2010-03-29 on rothera, modified by Debian"

So, what should I do? I'm going to try to compile a current version of
emacs but I guess thats not the reason...

Thanks for any more advice!

Did you try to reproduce the problem with a minimal Emacs
configuration?  emacs -q and a minial initialization file that just
sets up Org mode and enables ido mode.

This way you can rule out that the problem is caused by some package
in you emacs initfile.

I am using ido mode but / works fine here on Emacs 23.2.

Best,

Hi,

I've got the error, but I don't know why: 

---------
(require 'ido)
(setq ido-everywhe 1)  ;; commenting only this out does not help
(setq ido-enable-flex-matching t)
(setq ido-max-work-file-list 50)
(setq ido-mode 1)  ;; commenting this out gives me correct behaviour for /
---------

How can that be? I currently dont know where I'm using ido, but I guess
it's quite useful at times I dont even realize it's doing sth. So I
think I would not like to leave it. I'm using the ido-version that is
bundled with Ubuntu 10.10's emacs23.1
