Re: [O] Bug: clocktable error in org-agenda [9.2.2 (release_9.2.2-245-g9d7b1e @ /home/dortmann/src/git-org-mode/lisp/)]

[Bernt Hansen]

Actually I think it is a bug.  This weird behaviour has been around for
a very long time (years probably).

I have noticed similar behaviour with log mode, and clock check mode as
well.

I can reproduce the issue at with the following recipe:

C-c a a (start org agenda)
j -3 RET (go back 3 days although any number of days probably works)
l (turn on log mode) or R for clock report
. (go to today)
l (wont' turn off log mode anymore)

Workaround:

j -3 RET (go back 3 days again)
l (turn log mode off) or R for clock report
.  (works normally again)

I run into this regularly when I'm checking clock reports in the agenda
for the past week (jump to the past, turn clock reports or logging on)
then move forwards again and you can't turn it off.

HTH.

Regards,
Bernt
