Hi Carsten,

It seems today is bug reporting day :)

Each time I set the value I get the error: 

org-columns-update: Marker does not point anywhere

but it does work and update the task property so it's not harming
anything in org-mode data that I can see - it just beeps and displays
the message which is confusing.

This also breaks C-x ( macros which I use alot when repeating the same
actions on multiple tasks.  When the error displays the macro recording
terminates which is a little inconvenient.

With the cursor on a task in the agenda

| C-x )         | to stop recording                 |

This issues the error

So far I cannot reproduce this problem.  One helpful thing would be to  
post
a full backtrace, made with uncompiled org.el that will tell me exactly
which function tries to use an undefined marker.

BTW, I guess your file starts with an empty line, to get column view  
for the entire file?  Or do you call it in one of those headlines?  If  
yes why do yoou need "down to get to the task?

How do I generate a debug backtrace again?  I tried finding this on
the list but failed :(

No there is no blank line at the top of the file.  I used
boxquote-insert-file without touching the result.

I can't use a blank line in my regular (huge) org files because column
view seems to go into an infinite loop sometimes (or I never waited long
enough for it to finish)

(setq debug-on-error t)

In case you've lost the backtrace buffer, its name is *Backtrace*.

When emacs starts up it shows the agenda view.  The down arrow to the
task moves from the date to the first task so I can edit the estimated
effort column.

Hopefully I did this backtrace correctly.
