Hi,
as a help being in agenda view pressing "v c" will:
v c
Show overlapping clock entries, clocking gaps, and other clocking
problems in the current agenda range. You can then visit clocking lines
and fix them manually. See the variable
org-agenda-clock-consistency-checks for information on how to customize
the definition of what constituted a clocking problem. To return to
normal agenda display, press l to exit Logbook mode.
Cheers,
Rainer
