I have the ORDERED property set for some of my tasks, and org-mode is
configured to dim blocked tasks.
However, in agenda view, the tasks are not dimmed. If I then go to the
PROPERTIES drawer and press C-c C-c and the refresh the agenda, the
blocked tasks dim correctly.
Similarly, I have (setq org-agenda-align-tags-to-column 100) in my
configuration file. This setting is also not recognised when I show my
task list. I have to open my config file (pdm-org.el), go to the line in
question and hit C-x C-e. Then when I refresh the agenda view, the tags
all shift to the right columns.
This is happening the same on two machines (both Windows I'm afraid),
with org-mode versions reported as 6.22b and 6.22trans.
I still have my earlier problem with the stuck projects view not
ignoring inherited tags.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks
Paul

When you press C-c C-c at a property drawer or at a property drawer,
you are presented with e menu. What option do you select?

This must mean that your file pdm-org.el is not read at all, or
not read in time for the agenda construction, or that the setting
is overwritten in some other place, for example by a
custom-set-variables form in another init file.
Or maybe you have first
(org-agenda-list)
in .emacs, and then
(load-file "~/pdm-org.el")
or some trick like this?

I do not remember this one, can you send a link to the message?

I didn't see the menu, so I've just gone back to try and re-create the
error. It seems that I was exiting the menu rather than selecting an
option in my haste to switch windows, so wasn't selecting anything. I
can now see that simply making the PROPERTIES drawer visible has the effect of
dimming the blocked todos once I refresh. If I refresh without making
the drawer visible they do not dim.

All the other customizations in that file are working OK. I have
(require 'pdm-org) in my .emacs and the only other items which pertain
to org-mode which come after that line are the Customize settings for
org-agenda-files (which seem to be working fine) and org-stuck-projects
(which I also have a problem with!)
I'm quite prepared to believe that I have some items in the wrong order
- I'm fairly unsophisticated in elisp terms, but I have a minimal .emacs
with (require... lines for a series of mode-specific customization
files.

I don't seem to have that variable set anywhere. Is that a problem?

Umm, let me see...
Don't think I can paste the nntp link, but on Gmane it's at:

Is this Emacs 21?

One thing you can try:
1. Start Emacs, and check what the value of org-agenda-align-tags-to-
column is.
2. Create an agenda, then check again.
3. do C-x C-e in the line in pdm-org.el as you described, and then
check the value of the variable again.
This should tell us something.

OK, I've now tried this:
at 1. the value is -80
at 2. the value is -80
at 3. the value is now 100.

In fact.
You are completely right, there was a bug. Thanks for insisting!
It is fixed now.

... clearly showing that your customization is not read,
or overwritten again. I am afraid you will have to find
yourself where this is happening.
Actually, this might help: org-agenda-align-tags-to-column is an
alias for org-agenda-tags-column, Maybe you are setting that? Or maybe
you should be setting that instead?
This must be the problem....
OK, still open, the problem with stuck projects.
