Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See
https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback
Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The global variable org-agenda-buffer-name, once set, wrongly (IMO)
affects all future agenda buffer names for composite commands.
Minimal complete example (in emacs -q):
================================================================================
Evaluate
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("z" "Std Agenda"
((tags "select"
((org-agenda-overriding-header "*select*ed")))
(agenda "" ((org-agenda-span 2)))))))
(("z" "Std Agenda" ((tags "select" ...) (agenda "" ...))))
(org-agenda nil "z")
and get a custom agenda with the default buffer name "*Org Agenda*"
(OK).
Create a buffer "test.org" and switch it to `org-mode', insert a
timestamp (C-c .). Now follow the timestamp link (C-c C-o), and get an
agenda with buffer name "*Org Agenda(a:2021-05-15)" (OK).
Now re-do
(org-agenda nil "z")
which has the same buffer name including the date (BUG).
================================================================================
I do not pretend to understand how the global variable
org-agenda-buffer-name is supposed to work (not even mentioning the
-sticky- functionality here). What I understand is the following:
The org-agenda dispatcher let-binds o-a-buffer-name to the global value.
"Simple" agenda commands (like a todo list) called from the dispatcher
set this let-bound o-a-buffer-name, so they use the correct default
value.
"Composite" custom commands called via the dispatcher do not set the
let-bound value, so they use the original let-bound value (the global
value at the start of org-agenda).
`org-follow-timestamp-link' calls the `org-agenda-list' command directly
(not via the dispatcher), hence sets the global (not a local let-bound)
value of o-a-buffer-name.
I have little constructive advice to offer regarding a solution. It
seems to me that the global variable o-a-buffer-name is only harmful and
I would try to get rid of it, but I guess it is necessary for sticky
agendas (not using them).
