If I'm reading your report correctly, you're assuming that with point on the "task 2", it'd take *that* as the top-level heading and filter to all the tasks under it (task 2.1, etc). Instead, it finds "Root" and filters to everything thing under that, which---in your example file---is the same thing, so you don't see any change. -- Kyle
