Re: clocktable and :tags

[Kristofer Bergstrom <kris@OnEnsemble.org>]

Thank you very much for the input, Sebastian.  I tried without the
dash (and typed C-c C-x C-r to update the table) but the table still
includes items not tagged ON or ADMIN, as shown below.  I've tried
with and without colons, with and without the quotes, and have tried
other tags.  I've also tried mangling the :tags option completely like
":tagsasdf" and there is no effect.  It is as if the :tags modifier is
not being read at all.  The timestamp of the clocktable is updated and
the minibuffer shows the update completing.

Does :tags functionality depend on something elsewhere that I'm forgetting?
