I made a mistake in my first mail: the totals are for the Effort property not CLOCKSUM.

Can no one confirm this?  Is there something else wrong with my post?  The situation is the same after pulling from master today.

Hello,

I am using git master from yesterday (commit 6d2a661f) and have found
that when the agenda is narrowed by tag (i.e. all appointments marked
with a certain tag are excluded), the clocksum still shows the
un-narrowed total.  Is this the correct behaviour, or a bug?

Selected variables:

org-agenda-columns-add-appointments-to-effort-sum is t
org-columns-default-format:
"%80ITEM(Task) %10Effort(Effort){:} %10Duration(Duration){:} %10CLOCKSUM"

org-global-properties:
(("Effort_ALL" . "0:00 0:10 0:30 1:00 2:00 3:00 4:00 5:00 6:00 7:00 8:00 16:00 24:00 32:00"))

Test org file:

/ - TAB 'spouse' ;; narrow by excluding the item tagged 'spouse'

See how the 18:00 has counted the 11:00 that should have been excluded:

I would have expected something this:

;;,-----------------------------------------------------------------

;;|                8:00...... ----------------

;;| * Drink tea                                             | 6:00 |
;;`-----------------------------------------------------------------

and am therefore disappointed.

I haven't investigated if this happens for simple clocked time as well
as appointments yet.

Yes, I can see similar behaviour for clocked tasks.  That is to say, with this file contents:

#+COLUMNS: %40ITEM(Task) %17Effort(Estimated Effort){:} %CLOCKSUM
* TODO Earn money
  :PROPERTIES:
  :Effort:   0:10
  :END:

* TODO Drink tea                              :a:
  :PROPERTIES:
  :Effort:   0:30
  :END:

#start emacs
$ emacs -Q

M-x org-agenda

<                 ;; narrow to current buffer

t                   ;; see all TODOs

C-c C-x C-c  ;; see column view

/  - TAB a     ;; exclude the item tagged :a:

And the result looks something like this:

Task                                                       | Estimated Effort
____________________________________________________
Global list of TODO items of type: ALL
Available with `N r': (0)[ALL] (1)TODO   | 0:40
  TODO Earn money                              | 0:10
