Something has been bothering me (in an æsthetic way) for some
time.  When an event scheduled for the day before is displayed in the
default agenda view, it displays the days overdue as "2" which seems
wrong to me.  I wonder if somebody can give me the justification for
this?

The code in question, with my own change to fix this to display "1" day
overdue in such cases, is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
@@ -6214,7 +6214,7 @@ scheduled items with an hour specification like [h]h:mm."
 		     (pcase-let ((`(,first ,past) org-agenda-scheduled-leaders))
 		       ;; Show a reminder of a past scheduled today.
 		       (if (and todayp pastschedp)
-			   (format past (1+ diff))
+			   (format past diff)
 			 first))
 		     head level category tags time nil habitp))
 		   (face (cond ((and (not habitp) pastschedp)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

thanks,
eric

I cannot reproduce it on maint nor on master. Wasn't that fixed some
time ago?

I have a +2 for "something" scheduled for yesterday.
Org git from the morning.

Org mode version 9.0.5 (release_9.0.5-370-g9f3a02

--snippet from *Org Agenda*
WMA:        Sched. 2x:  TODO something
--

--snippet from my org-file
**** TODO something
     SCHEDULED: <2017-03-15 Mi>
--

Just as a data point. 

And a +1 to change this to 1x :-)

Thanks for confirming.  Mine was with yesterday's version of org.

Nicolas, I think you may have been thinking of a different issue
entirely.

Indeed. 

However, isn't the current behaviour the right one? I meant, in the
given example, it was scheduled once "yesterday", so it is really the
second time it is scheduled today, hence the "2x". 

Another way to look at it is by some sloppy analogy to algebra: you
write "2 \times{} x" but scarcely "1 \times{} x".

I think people are thinking of it as "number of days I've failed to
complete my scheduled item".

Sure, if you read it as 2x scheduled it is correct.

I read it as 1x re-scheduled or 1x overdue.
But: Just cosmetics. For me the second way looks more natural.

i think in terms of days since the date that would be its most recent
appearance.

thus, if yesterday would be its most recent appearance, then it would be 1.

this is consistent with code i have that marks timestamps with the
number of days since the timestamp, with 0 being today.

but yeah, borderline bikeshedding or cosmetic.  :]

Ah, okay, I see the rationale.  For me, it looks strange because I have
changed the leader to say "Overdue %4d d:" and so the number presented
is 1 more than I would expect.

No worries!  At least I understand why it is the way it is.

Thanks,
eric
