Package: taskwarrior
Version: 2.6.1+dfsg-1
I was "task edit"ing a task, but I got distracted, "task add"ed another
task, went back to the editor, saved and exited. Taskwarrior modified
the task I was editing, as expected, but it also lost the other task
I added. :-(
Here's how to reproduce it:
$ task add foo
Created task 1.
$ EDITOR="sleep 1000; sed -i -e s/foo/FOO/" task edit foo &
[1] 681
Launching 'sleep 1000; sed -i -e s/foo/FOO/ "task.efd5dc74.task"' now...
$ task add bar
Created task 2.
$ task
ID Age Description Urg
1 12s foo 0
2 1s bar 0
2 tasks
$ pkill sleep && fg
Terminated
EDITOR="sleep 1000; sed -i -e s/foo/FOO/" task edit foo
Editing complete.
Edits were detected.
Description modified.
$ task
ID Age Description Urg
1 19s FOO 0
1 task
Recently upgraded to 2.6.0. Please run 'task news' to read higlights about
the new release.
Note that the "bar" task has disappeared.

I can no longer reproduce this with taskwarrior 3.5.0+dfsg-1 in Debian
unstable and assume this was fixed with the new sqlite file format in
version 3. Thus closing.
