Hi Jost,
I think I and many other people here owe you a beer. You have finally
succeeded to make a reproducible case for this bug. This is a bug
somewhere
deep inside Emacs where some routine seems to call `set-window-start'
without the no-force argument behind my back. I have a work-around,
so I
am optimistic that this dreaded bug will have disappeared in the next
release.
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
The bug happens when being in the agenda and trying to goto or show
the origin location of an agenda entry by pressing SPC or RET.
John reports that sometimes (for him several times a day),
the other window shows a completely different location.
The most weird part of it is that going back to the agenda buffer
and then trying the exact same command again, everything works
fine! This is driving me crazy, and I'd love to find and fix
this problem.
So please, if anyone sees the same bug, try to give as as much as
info
as possible. How often does it happen, under what circumstances,
what is your setup etc etc.
Hi,
I think I've finally found a example to reproduce this bug. The sample
orgfile looks like this
---- orgfile starts here ---
# -*- mode: org -*-
* Tasks
** DONE some Task
** DONE some Task
** DONE some Task
** DONE some Task
** DONE some Task
** DONE some Task
.......
* calendar
** some calendar entry
<2008-02-10 Do 18:30>
---- orgfile ends here ----
instead of "......." please add many more similar lines (approx. 50)
of "** DONE some Task"
What I do is the following
- hide all sublevels via C-u TAB
- move cursor to "* Tasks" cycle with TAB
- move cursor to second entry
- M-x calendar
- M-x org-calendar-goto-agenda
- within agenda move cursor to calendar entry
- press TAB
What happens is that focus is switched to org-file, but the cursor
sits
on the 8th entry of "** DONE Some Task". When I move the cursor to
the end
of my orgfile, I can see that the calendar entry is now correctly
reveal. Just the cursor position seems to be wrong. I tried using
edebug, but when stepping manually through org-agenda-goto, everything
went just fine and the cursor was positioned on the correct line?
When generating the above sample orgfile, the following aspects seemed
important.
- at least two lines before the entry "* Tasks", otherwise focus
worked
correctly
- many subentries below "* Tasks", I had the impression that frame has
to be filled
- focus: the sublevels of "* calendar" must be hidden, maybe that
explains, why position is found correctly on the second try.
I tried this on emacs 22.1.90 on windows with org-5.19a. I'll will
test
this also with 5.20 (I just saw you did release it - I'm very much
looking forward to this release - Thank you !!)
Please inform me, if you need further information.
Best regards,

Jost
