If you narrow to subtree when there is a following task the narrowed buffer has a blank line at the end. If you are on this line and clock-in it starts the clock for the _following_ task (outside the narrowed subtree) and not the task you are looking at.
I stumbled across this today because the following task was already over the estimated limit when I clocked it in - which triggered my alarm sound. ,----[ test.org ] | #+STARTUP: | * TODO One | * TODO Two `---- ,----[ minimal.emacs ] | (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/git/org-mode/lisp")) | (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\|txt\\)$" . org-mode)) | (require 'org-install) | | (global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link) | (global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda) | (global-set-key "\C-cb" 'org-iswitchb) `---- Key sequence to reproduce: $ emacs -q -l minimal.emacs test.org | Key | Notes | |-------------------------------+-------------------------------| | C-n | Go to first task '* TODO One' | | M-x org-narrow-to-subtree RET | Narrow to subtree | | C-n | Move to last blank line | | C-c C-x C-i | Clock in (next) task | |-------------------------------+-------------------------------| -Bernt Emacs : GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.11) of 2008-11-09 on raven, modified by Debian Package: Org-mode version 6.31trans (release_6.31.8.g7485) _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
