While in the Org Agenda, and navigating to the end of line for a given item
(assuming more than one todo items), and calling org-agenda-todo (with
keybindings t, or C-c C-t)... this result in the call being applied to the
next line item, instead of the one the cursor is on.

This only happens when the cursor is at the end of the line.

I would consider this to be a bug.

Daniel

I tried using the following content as the agenda file:

    * TODO A
    * TODO B

Using Emacs 26.3 with a vanilla configuration and the Org repo checked
out at 5e4542d69 (the commit reported in the subject line), I didn't see
the behavior you describe.  With point at the end of the agenda line for
A, the state was changed for A.

I also can't trigger the behavior with the master branch checked out.

I think that may happen when you have agenda filter active and an entry
hidden by filter is between the current and next line.

I have tried reproducing it with a minimal example, and this seems to work
for me:

* FOO
** TODO baz1
SCHEDULED: <2020-08-16 Sun>

some text

* BAR
** TODO baz2
SCHEDULED: <2020-08-16 Sun>
*** DONE baz3
SCHEDULED: <2020-08-16 Sun>
*** TODO baz4
SCHEDULED: <2020-08-16 Sun>

When in the agenda, on the front line of item baz, setting it to DONE state
works fine.
OTOH, when going to the end of the line on the item baz, trying to set it
to DONE results in the error message:
TODO state change from TODO to DONE blocked (by "TODO baz4")

Also, I have (org-enforce-todo-dependencies t), which causes the blocking,
and (org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks (quote invisible)), which hides baz2 from
the agenda... because of this baz1 is followed directly by baz4 in my
agenda window.

Just for completeness, this my lengthy org configuration:

Made some corrections in the text below (marked with red).
Also, removed the unnecessary "some text" from the body of baz1 item, as
the issue can reproduce without it.

Maybe the org-agenda-todo function somehow gets "confused" by running it at

Thanks for the minimal example and configuration.  I can trigger the
issue using that file and

    (setq org-enforce-todo-dependencies t)
    (setq org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks 'invisible)

with commit 5e4542d69 checked out.

The issue doesn't happen with the current release (v9.3.7) or the master
branch.  It went away with 27e4d7ce4 (Prevent infinite loop when showing
new time in agenda, 2020-02-14).  I haven't taken a closer look, though.

I am currently on the master branch, and it seems to have been fixed indeed!

Thanks.  With 9.1.9 (5e4542d69), that indeed does look to be an issue.

    * TODO a
    * TODO b                                                               :drop:
    * TODO c

List those in the agenda, exclude drop, and, with point on a's line, hit
M-e (move-end-of-line).  Point is then at the end of the invisible b,
and calling org-agenda-todo acts on b rather than a.

However, as of v9.3.3, specifically a2b69c58f (org-agenda.el: Add
`org-agenda-end-of-line', 2020-02-02), move-end-of-line is remapped and
point ends up at the end of a, avoiding the issue.

Are you able to trigger this "act on invisible entry" behavior with
bound navigation commands in recent Org versions?

The org version of the move-end-of-line works fine on master. Though Org
remapping does not affect my key binding setup (I use alternative
version of move-end-of-line) and I had to redefine the command manually.

Best,
Ihor
