recent maint, have not tried in -Q.

summary: point moves and zoom level reverts when refreshing agenda

1]

i find that,

when i do an agenda agenda [daily/weekly] and i have point on a task,

and i go do something in the task and nearby nodes, and a bunch of
other things, and return to the agenda,

and refresh agenda view [and also just in case any of the markers god
out of date and could cause corruption if i operated on a task from
the agenda],

that point moves from the task.  i wonder if it makes sense to try to
keep point on the task that it was on?

2] i also find that refreshing resets the zoom level created using
text-scale-increase.  i wonder if this can also be preserved.  to me,
refreshing refers to updating the contents of the agenda view, not
things like text scale.

thanks.

I also find the point movement erratic sometimes in the agenda.  IIUC
the line number gets stored for the agenda and after agenda-redo point
is set to that line number again.

I also thought a bit about a better behavior.  One could implement a
heuristic which trys to place point at a line which looks "very much"
like the line which contained point before the redo.  But I'm not sure
how crazy that is.

This is a wanted feature AFAICT.  I think the following patch is a
reliable way to achieve the preservation of text-scale for agenda-redo.

The following is an alternative patch which I think is preferable.  It
just keeps the needed local variables for the text-scale (aka zoom) in
good order in function org-agenda-mode.

Further I use this patch already for some days and could not find any
issue.

thank you!  do you think this patch could be integrated into core?

Yes, I think so.

Hopefully Nicolas and Bastien see it the same way.

BTW meanwhile you could overwrite function org-agenda-mode with the
patched version residing in your init file.

Hello,

Thank you. It looks good. Feel free to apply it.

I have two suggestions however:

1. There is some code duplication, e.g., (dolist ...), could this be
   factored out before applying the patch?

2. Would it make sense to add the variables to preserve in a dedicated
   top-level variable instead of burying them in the code?


Regards,

Yes, done, thanks for the hint.  The patch has been committed.

I don't know.  Possibly this is a YAGNI.  A top-level variable could be
introduced any time.  Further someone might come up with a freshly
rewritten agenda in the meantime. ;)

BTW: It might be a good idea to take ideas from `list-buffers' and
friends for the rewrite of the agenda.
