Problem when customizing TODO sequence

Problem when customizing TODO sequence

[Jonathan Underwood]

Hi,

In my .emacs, I have this:

(setq org-todo-keywords
      '((sequence "TODO" "IN-PROGRESS" "|" "DONE" "CANCELLED")))

and when I pressC-c C-t I get this:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument integerp sequence)
  org-todo(nil)
  call-interactively(org-todo)

This is with GNU Emacs 22 and org-mode 4.77.

Am I doing something stupid, or is this a bug?

Jonathan

Actually, I was doing something stupid, for some reason the earlier version of
org-mode that is shipped with emacs 22 was being used (I am not sure why).
Anyway, I have that fixed, but it still does not work. Now when I do org-todo
(C-c C-t) the todo state rotates between no state, TODO and DONE. Examining
org-todo-keywords and org-todo-keywords-1 shows:

org-todo-keywords is a variable defined in `org.el'.
Its value is 
((sequence "TODO" "IN-PROGRESS" "|" "DONE" "CANCELLED"))

org-todo-keywords-1 is a variable defined in `org.el'.
Its value is ("TODO" "DONE")

So, why is org-todo-keywords-1 not inheriting the value of org-todo-keywords ?

Try restarting Emacs, to make sure everything is consistent.  Then 
check the value of the variable org-version to make sure that you are 
using the right value.  Finally, make sure that you have no 
buffer-local settings for the TODO states, like

#SEQ_TODO: TODO DONE

Done. It is.

C-h v org-version reports 4.76, so i think that's ok (I noticed
earlier you hadn't bumped version between 4.76 and 4.77).

I have no such buffer local settings.

OTOH, everything works as expected if I DO add a buffer local setting
of #SEQ_TODO.

So I think there is a bug which is stopping org-todo-keywords-1 when
org-todo-keywords is set.
