Trouble with scheduled item with deadline on agenda

Trouble with scheduled item with deadline on agenda

[Alex Branham]

Hello -

I have this item in one of my agenda files:

** TODO Pay estimated taxes
SCHEDULED: <2018-03-31 Sat> DEADLINE: <2018-04-17 Tue -20d>

and org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled set to 'prescheduled. Since it is scheduled for a date later than today I would expect that it doesn't appear on my agenda today. However, it looks like the prewarning -20d is causing it to appear anyway.

Am I misunderstanding something here or is this a bug?

Thanks,
Alex

yes, this is a bug, fixed now in maint, can you double check and let
me know if things are working okay?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. It seems like this might be fixed though it's hard
to tell because now deadlines aren't being put into the agenda at all
unless they are also scheduled. :-(

Is this a bug or expected?  If this is a bug, can you send an example?

This area can be confusing and is hard to test, examples are always
very welcome.

Thanks!

It's a bug. This should show up on today's agenda:

* TODO test
DEADLINE: <2018-04-27 Fri>

because the value of 'org-deadline-warning-days' is 14 and it's due
tomorrow, but it doesn't appear.

Er, indeed - both bugs should now be fixed in maint.
