Bug: event with two dates displays wrong in org-agenda

Bug: event with two dates displays wrong in org-agenda

[rameiko87]

I have the following entry in one of my org files:

** party <2023-12-02 Sat>. Meet Jack <2023-12-02 Sat 16:15>

This appears in my org agenda twice, both times at 16:15. I would expect 
it should appear once at 16:15 and once as a general event for the day!

This is because by default Org agenda searches for even time in the
heading:

org-agenda-search-headline-for-time is a variable defined in ‘org-agenda.el’.

Its value is t

Non-nil means search headline for a time-of-day.
If the headline contains a time-of-day in one format or another, it will
be used to sort the entry into the time sequence of items for a day.

Some people have time stamps in the headline that refer to the creation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
time or so, and then this produces an unwanted side effect.  If this is
the case for your, use this variable to turn off searching the headline
for a time.

Not a bug.
Canceled.
