I'd like to report another bug in agenda column view summary displays. If one uses a custom agenda command with multiple blocks, column summaries in the agenda display do not display for all blocks.
Steps to replicate: emacs -Q -l ~/minimal.el Where minimal contains.... --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (add-to-list 'load-path "~/org-mode/lisp/") (add-to-list 'load-path "~/org-mode/contrib/lisp/") (require 'org) (setq org-agenda-files '("~/test.org")) (setq org-columns-default-format "%40ITEM(Task) %8Effort(Estimate){:} %8CLOCKSUM %20SCHEDULED %20DEADLINE %20TIMESTAMP") (setq org-agenda-custom-commands '(("n" "Now" ((todo "TODO") (agenda ""))))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- and ~/test.org contains... --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * TODO Buy groceries SCHEDULED: <2017-01-16 Mon> :PROPERTIES: :Effort: 0:10 :END: * TODO Mow lawn SCHEDULED: <2017-01-16 Mon> * TODO Clean house SCHEDULED: <2017-01-16 Mon> --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- If I call the custom agenda command above and then org-agenda-columns, no summary data is displayed for the first block (the todo block). Summary data does appear at the top of the agenda block. A git bisect reveals that this bug was introduced in 2015 with the following commit. Earlier versions of org display independent column summaries for all agenda blocks. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- f1ee487218da00962eb8b67d1f5ec1f54a5a04db is the first bad commit commit f1ee487218da00962eb8b67d1f5ec1f54a5a04db Author: Nicolas Goaziou <m...@nicolasgoaziou.fr> Date: Tue Jun 2 21:56:50 2015 +0200 org-colview: Handle user-defined inheritance in agenda colview * lisp/org-colview.el (org-agenda-columns): Use `org-entry-get' instead of `org-entry-properties' to handle inheritance for user-provided properties. :040000 040000 6348c8dd00846a942b50d6495800f5137c99620a eedfa94ed29964ee0af9ed22735fcef8158ebea8 M lisp --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Best, Matt
