ok, i have a new -Q minimal testcase, which is attached. it explains how to run it at the top. the relevant part is at the bottom, so you could just copy that if you prefer to try your own setup instead. it's 3 lines. the task is this: *********** NEXT xyzzy test SCHEDULED: <2016-11-07 Mon 17:00 .+1d> make this be a date that is before real-time today it should show up in agenda time grid but it does not note that this time, (setq org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all nil). run the testcase twice once with delorgsrc=vanilla-org-9-dir once with vanilla org "8.2.10" this is the standard org version in my emacs version you will get time grid for the task in org 8 but not in org 9. i hope this will be totally reproducible no matter what your recent emacs version. thanks. -- The Kafka Pandemic: http://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com The disease DOES progress.
