Strange behavior with block agendas

Strange behavior with block agendas

[Yuri Niyazov]

If a block agenda exists, with say, agenda on top and todo on the
bottom, then by default it opens to "today". It is possible then to
press j and select a different date to go to. After that, if we hit
"r" to redisplay, we get different behavior:
  - If the point is in the agenda section of the buffer, then the
agenda is redisplayed with the date that was selected after hitting
"j"
  - If the point is in the todo section of the buffer, then the agenda
is redisplayed with today's date.

Do you guys think this is correct behavior, or inconsistent behavior?

Where is point when you are hitting 'j'  in these cases?

"j" is on the agenda. When I try to hit "j" on the todo list, I get a
"Not allowed in todo-type agenda buffers" message, so that's not
relevant. The same happens with "b"and "f"

It looks like a minor inconsistency. "r" should probably keep last
selected date. Would you want to provide a patch for that?
