Is the value of org-use-fast-todo-selection set to "t"? And what's the value for org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks in your setup? ,----[ org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks ] | org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks is a variable defined in `org-agenda.el'. | Its value is t | | Documentation: | Non-nil means, dim blocked tasks in the agenda display. | This causes some overhead during agenda construction, but if you | have turned on `org-enforce-todo-dependencies', | `org-enforce-todo-checkbox-dependencies', or any other blocking | mechanism, this will create useful feedback in the agenda. | | Instead ot t, this variable can also have the value `invisible'. | Then blocked tasks will be invisible and only become visible when | they become unblocked. An exemption to this behavior is when a task is | blocked because of unchecked checkboxes below it. Since checkboxes do | not show up in the agenda views, making this task invisible you remove any | trace from agenda views that there is something to do. Therefore, a task | that is blocked because of checkboxes will never be made invisible, it | will only be dimmed. `---- -- Manish
