Brian, there are proposals for change to this floating around, but the way it is currently configured, a task if active if it has no context assigned, or if there is at least one context assigned and at least one assigned context is currently open.

If one assigned context is "always open" then the task is always active.

If you have three nearby pharmacies with three different schedules, and you define a context for each one with open times that match the pharmacy's hours of operation, and you assign all three contexts to a task, the task will be active whenever any pharmacy is open

If you want to make a call in the evening, and you have an ~evening context, but you want to mark the task as a call for efficient use of your time when you are near a phone, then @calls should be always closed. If you want to make a call in the daytime you should use a ~daytime context with an appropriate daytime schedule to mak ethe task activate in the day.

Multiple context schedules are processed with OR. The task is active if this context OR that context is active. Sometimes you want AND, like if you have a weekend context and a daytime context and you want a task to be active weekend daytimes. Sorry, does not exist, you have to create a context ~weekend-daytimes with a schedule that's open, say, 7am to 7pm Saturday and Sunday.

If I have context ~evening and another context that is not closed, then
my view doesn't hide the task.  It only hides the task if the closed
context is the only context assigned.

Is this by design?  Is there a way to hide tasks with multiple context,
one of them being closed?

I guess I see the issue...what if I have lots of context, some
open/closed, different times, etc.  Hmm, maybe I just answered my own
question then, how would MLO know what to hide or not hide.
