Bug: Clock times not summed correctly between years [9.0.9 (9.0.9-82-gb862c2-elpa @ ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org/)]

[Paul Stansell]

Hello,

The sum of the clock time seems to be summing just times in the current
year.  In the example below typing C-c C-x C-d in the "Example" section
displays "1:00" instead of "2:00" on the heading line.  The clocktable
computes the sum correctly as "2:00".

Thanks

Hello Nicolas,

Thanks for that tip, I was totally unaware of that option (it doesn't seem
to be mentioned in the user documentation, eg, it's not mentioned on
https://orgmode.org/manual/Clocking-commands.html).

I do wonder why the default range should be set at the current year and not
simply over the full range of clocked times in a heading.

Kind regards,

Paul

[Samuel Wales]

default should perhaps be changed?

I added a reference to that variable in Org 8.2 manual. Thank you for
the heads up.

I don't know, but both make sense. It's only a matter of changing
a defcustom, once you know about it.

I see that the exact same "bug" was reported at the start of 2016 by
David Bremner.  Personally, I feel that fewer people would be confused
by this if the default value was set to "untilnow".

I also realised that the full list of values that I can use for
org-clock-display-default-range is described in org-clock.el.

By the way, you guys are brilliant and I thank you for your work on
org mode (which I'd struggle to live without now that I'm so dependent
on it).
