Hello everyone,
When habits contain emphasis markers, e.g.
* TODO Habit 1
SCHEDULED: <2026-05-12 Tue .+1d>
:PROPERTIES:
:STYLE: habit
:END:
* TODO /Habit/ 2
SCHEDULED: <2026-05-12 Tue .+1d>
:PROPERTIES:
:STYLE: habit
:END:
and the emphasis markers are hidden:
(setopt org-hide-emphasis-markers t)
(require 'org-habit)
the habit graph doesn’t start at the correct column in the agenda:
agenda: TODO Habit 1 .................
agenda: TODO Habit 2 .................
Attached is a simple patch that adds the emphasis marker invisibility
(‘t’) to the ‘buffer-invisibility-spec’ when constructing the habit
graphs.
Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH v1] ; org-habit: Fix alignment with hidden emphasis markers
* lisp/org-habit.el (org-habit-insert-consistency-graphs): Keep
emphasis markers hidden so that the habit graph starts at the correct
column when 'org-hide-emphasis-markers' is t.
