Apologies.  It's an org version problem on my end.  There is no error with org
9.1.  Somehow that machine was never upgraded or got restored to an old
version.  It was still on 8.2.

Could you provide an ECM? I tried to set `org-agenda-files' to a file
containing the three lines above, and launched an agenda view, without
error. So, what are the steps required to exhibit a failure?

You have characterized the bug.  That ":SCHEDULED:" should not have been
considered a SCHEDULED entry.  It should have been ignored, based on the
description for org format in the manual.  

I was putting together an example for someone and was composing a full
example of an org file.  I just stumbled across this when trying various
forms of verbatim, code, and other blocks.  I was not expecting the
agenda display and processing to completely fail.

I created my example by eliminating one of the colons and explaining
that in a real org file you would need the colon.  But that
leaves the bug that this particular error causes agenda creation to
fail.  I was expecting the parser to treat the SCHEDULED line as just
more body text, and ignore it.

I think the issue is that SCHEDULED and DEADLINE entries must appear
immediately after the headline.  You have a line (* example) in between
the SCHEDULED line and the headline.

[O] Agenda bug

2018-03-06 Thread Robert Horn

I discovered that the lines ( the body of a headline):
*** real headline
   * example
   :SCHEDULED: 

cause agenda processing to fail.  It tries to parse  as a
timestamp.  The parser used by agenda appears not to enforce the
requirement that headlines begin with asterisks on the left margin.

Removing either the leading colon or the asterisk on example fixes the
problem.

Regular display parsing does not get confused.  The highlighting and
font changes do not consider the "   * example" to be a headline.

Hi Huy,

I depend on inactive timestamps in headlines, because they are useful
when the entries are folded.  I sort by time, which eliminates the
need for date trees.

But the problem of grabbing a time from the headline is solvable:

  (setq org-agenda-search-headline-for-time nil)

Yes.  Mixing time-stamps for a single entry is known to cause problems,
and this is one of them.  Better to put the inactive time-stamp outside
of the headline.

Huy,

please check your setting for org-extend-today-until:

   The hour when your day really ends.  Must be an integer.
   This has influence for the following applications:
   - When switching the agenda to "today".  It it is still earlier
 than the time given here, the day recognized as TODAY is actually
 yesterday.

It's 1:17am over here.
And when I pop up the agenda and then hit 'l', it says:

but it's on the wrong day: yesterday.

Hi,

there's a bug when I have a task like this:

* Test [2012-12-26 Wed 22:24]
  SCHEDULED: <2012-12-25 Wed>

Note that the inactive date has a time in the headline, but the schedule
date doesn't.

When I run the agenda, I get this:

Tuesday25 December 2012
  GTD:22:24.. Scheduled:  Test [2012-12-26 Wed 22:24]

The time should not be extracted from the non-scheduled timestamp,
right?

It would be nice to have some more informations.

Is this exactly the line you have in your agenda?
Version orgmode, emacs etc.?
Does the same happen when the item is not at the end of that agenda
file, but say somewhere in the middle?

Who knows? A backtrace would help however: M-x toggle-debug-on-error and
trigger the error again.

I can make it go away by deleting the following from the end of one of my

Why would this break the agenda view?
