Bug: Scatter doubles up on SCHEDULED items [7.4]

Bug: Scatter doubles up on SCHEDULED items [7.4]

[James Shuttleworth]

Hi,
  I love the idea of the new bulk scatter command, but it's giving me
  a problem.  When used, it adds an extra SCHEDULED item to entries
  rather than change the current one.  Maybe this is expected
  behaviour and I just don't "get it", but I don't think so.  

  If I can give any more information that might be useful, I'm happy to.

  Thanks for org and thanks in advance for any help with this!

Regards,

James

What do I have to do to reproduce the problem?  I don't understand
what "bulk scatter command" actually refers to.

I cannot reproduce this.

James, can you please provide a sample entry on which this behavior occurs.

Also, on that same entry, could you please test whether a normal
rescheduling command, C-c C-s, results in the same behavior.

It's a new feature introduced by John Wiegley. To use it, mark one or
more entries in the agenda and type "B S".

Best,
Matt

Make sure the "SCHEDULED" keyword appears on the line right after the
entry itself -- like:

* My entry
  SCHEDULED: <2011-02-03 jeu.>

When people put text between the heading and the "SCHEDULED" cookie,
rescheduling will be confused.  

HTH,
