Hi Carsten,

I've been running into what I think is a bug over the last few days.  I
normally live in the agenda for today with my todo tasks displayed and
ordered by priority.

I've noticed that sometimes (rarely) using SPACE or TAB on an entry
jumps to my single org file but in the wrong place.  I've been bitten by
this at least twice when using T to change the TODO status of an entry.
It prompts for the log message and changes the item to DONE (as
requested... ) but it changes the wrong item.

My org file looks something like this

,----[ todo.org ]
| MY PROJECTS  -*- mode: org; fill-column: 78 -*-
| 
| #+STARTUP: overview
| #+STARTUP: lognotestate
| #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) STARTED(s) WAITING(w) APPT(a) | DONE(d) DEFERRED(p) CANCELLED(c)
| #+TAGS: { SCHOOL(s) WORK(w) } CALL(c) ERRAND(e)
| * Tasks
| * Timelog
| 
| * Client1 - Timelog
| * Client1 - Project1
| ** TODO [#B] Some Task...
| 
| * Client2 - Timelog
| * Client2 - Project1...
| * Client2 - Project2...
| 
| . . .
`----

Each level 1 category has a #+CATEGORY and #+ARCHIVE line following it
followed by level 2 tasks for each project.

After using TAB (to the wrong place) if I return to the agenda buffer
and do it again it works right.  Sometimes I think I'm going crazy :)
except when the task TODO state change and accompanying note end up on
the wrong task.

The last time this happened (a few minutes ago) the cursor was on 

  Client1:    Scheduled:  TODO [#B] Some Task

in the agenda.  I hit T to change the item to DONE and entered my note.
As soon as that was complete the agenda line looked like this:

  Client1:    Scheduled:  DONE Timelog

I hit TAB and got to the

* Timelog

entry instead (2nd level 1 task instead of the level 2 task)

so I ended up with 

* DONE Timelog
[date and comment stuff went here from closing the task]

I have the following org-mode variables set in my .emacs:

I'd love to help track this down but I have no idea where to start
looking.  Any ideas?
