Missing date in Org-Agenda Day buffer

Missing date in Org-Agenda Day buffer

Dear group,

When scheduling may working day I use the Org-Agenda Day view and the 
column mode with the format as given below. This work very well and I am 
happy with the set-up. However, as shown in the attached png file the 
date is missing. My initial thought was that it is the same color as the 
shadowy highlight of the table headlines, but this is the same as the 
effort-sum. I have tried to find a solution, but not succeded.

I have tried two different background/foreground with the same result 
(black/white and reverse).

Is there more users having the same problem? And if anyone could help 
out I would be pleased.

(setq org-columns-default-format "%60ITEM(Details) %5PRIORITY(PRIO) 
%12SCHEDULED(Scheduled) %15TAGS(Context) %7TODO(To Do) 
%5Effort(Effort){:} %6CLOCKSUM ")

Emacs v. 23.3.1

Org-mode v. 7.6

Yes, I can reproduce that and it does seem like a bug. I traced it
down to 

     org-agenda-columns -->
      org-agenda-colview-summarize -->
       org-columns-display-here

but I don't have time to take it further. As you surmised, the dates are
there: if you do C-u C-x = at the appropriate places, you'll see the
chars, but I guess the fg/bg colors are the same. I append the report I
get from one such (the first char on tomorrow's date). It may be that
the (:foreground unspecified) below is the culprit, but I'm just guessing.

This should be fixed now, please confirm. 

As a workaround 

If you don't clone from master/hotfix, you can set 
`org-agenda-columns-show-summaries' to nil as a temporary
workaround.

Thanks to you and Nick for reporting this!

I confirm that the workaround works. The date is not missing. However, 
putting the show-summaries to nil omits the summation of effort and 
clock, which are in the same row.
I dont clone. Is the faulting summation only a problem of the workaround?

Thank you for looking into this.

That's the point of `org-agenda-columns-show-summaries': controlling the
display of the summary.

Not, it was another problem, now fixed, but you can temporary circumvent
the problem with the workaround.

Thanks,
