his is just a bug, fixed now for the next version.

Initially the reason was technical. Constructing the agenda can take
a second or more, to automatically reconstructing it after each change
forbids itself. Just moving around a changed line can be difficult.
However, after giving up on trying to change everything live, I now
happen to think that this is in fact good. What you really do is look
at a list of tasks and appointments, and you do want to push things
around. I really like to be able to modify several lines before
getting a rearranged display. For example:
- When things move around with each change I make, I constantly
have to follow the changes with my eyes and memory, this is more
tiring.
- I change a TODO entry to DONE. That means it should not even be
in the agenda anymore, and a live update would just get rid of
the item. If you made a mistake in marking it done, it is hard to
find the entry back and change it back.
- I want to reschedule an item to next week. Will the display then move
to next week? So I need to go back to today to continue working?
Things like this. You *do* get visual feedback that an entry has been
modified, and "r" is not hard to press.
So even if I knew how to change it, I would not want to do it.

Yes, the docstring of that variable says so.
