This is quite obscure, and an odd corner case, but here it is.

If you have an item which is:

- a TODO
- scheduled
- ordered
- blocked by a child TODO

then it leaves an empty line in the agenda.

Here's a test case:
,----
| * Press t r on this line in the agenda
|   SCHEDULED: <2009-09-02 Wed>
|   :PROPERTIES:
|   :ORDERED:  t
|   :END:
| *** TODO Report invisible scheduled items
`----

C-a a a will show an agenda with "Scheduled: Press t r ...".
Press "t" on that line to add a TODO.
Press "r" to redisplay, and see the line go blank.

Peter.

Is the value of org-use-fast-todo-selection set to "t"?

And what's the value for org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks in your setup?

,----[ org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks ]
| org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks is a variable defined in `org-agenda.el'.
| Its value is t
|
| Documentation:
| Non-nil means, dim blocked tasks in the agenda display.
| This causes some overhead during agenda construction, but if you
| have turned on `org-enforce-todo-dependencies',
| `org-enforce-todo-checkbox-dependencies', or any other blocking
| mechanism, this will create useful feedback in the agenda.
|
| Instead ot t, this variable can also have the value `invisible'.
| Then blocked tasks will be invisible and only become visible when
| they become unblocked.  An exemption to this behavior is when a task is
| blocked because of unchecked checkboxes below it.  Since checkboxes do
| not show up in the agenda views, making this task invisible you remove any
| trace from agenda views that there is something to do.  Therefore, a task
| that is blocked because of checkboxes will never be made invisible, it
| will only be dimmed.

I can't duplicate this.

No, it's nil. Sorry, I was forgetting that not everyone
has the same keys! This isn't part of the bug, just a
way to make the behaviour more visible.

> And what's the value for org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks in your setup?

It is "invisible", but I would have expected the item not to
appear in the agenda at all rather than leaving a gap.

Whether scheduled items should be hidden is an interesting
question: if I'm meant to do something at a given time, it
would be helpful to know that something is stopping me. That
applies even more to deadlines.

Peter.

P.S. Matt - I have org-enforce-todo-dependencies "t", which
is another possible difference that might stop this happening
in your case.

Neither can I (same versions, more-or-less).

Peter, can you check the faces? Maybe the item disappears in a
same-color background? I get 'org-agenda-dimmed-todo-face' for your item
and 'org-scheduled-previously' for other items (not sure why), so it's
conceivable that a face setting is responsible.

M-x describe-face while the cursor is on the appropriate text will do it
(if you have hl-line-mode on, you may have to turn it off first).

It's org-scheduled-today, foreground DarkGreen. That's the colour it
appears
when it isn't a TODO item. It doesn't change when I add a TODO, or when
the
agenda is redisplayed with the blank line.

One reason for treating this as a bug rather than an oddity of display
is
that the apparently blank line still responds to commands, so it could
be
modified without the user knowing.

Peter.

Hi Peter,

is this only happening if the entry is the *first* entry
in the list in the agenda?

No, it's the same if it's second or third too (or more, but I stopped
there).

Thanks for looking at this,
