How to repair appointments in Emacs? E.g. 2 problems (case 2. when there are no notification at deadline and with "app't in % min" indicator which shows incorrect time).
Just for example I run "emacs -q" and evaluate in *scratch* buffer next settings (usually I use .emacs, of course):
(display-time)
(setq
appt-message-warning-time 5
appt-display-mode-line t)
(appt-activate 1)
When I add notifications on such time I get:
1. current_time + 1 minute - Emacs shows notification in correct time;
2. current_time + 6 minutes - shows two notifications, one before 5 minutes and second before 2 minutes to deadline (in time, 0 minutes to deadline, - nothing comes up).
At the same time in Mode Line "App't in % min" shows time, which is current_time - 1 minute (if there are 3 minutes to deadline it shows only 2). What's surprising is that in clock (which is (display-time)'s work) time is correct (like [h@localhost$ date] displays).

Does it help to make appt-message-warning-time a multiple of
appt-display-interval?
Eg (setq appt-message-warning-time 6
appt-display-interval 2)

I tried this code snippet. It seems to solve problem by 99%. The only
minus is that on deadline Emacs tells that "Appointment in 1 min."
instead of "Appointment now" (and when "Appointment in 5 min."
it means it will be in 4 minutes).
The results are in the tables. The first column shows when Emacs
displays warnings and second shows what time was at that moment (by
h@localhost$ date)
If I execute M-x appt-add with deadline at 11:32:
| Appointment in 5 min. | 11:28 |
| Appointment in 3 min. | 11:30 |
| Appointment in 1 min. | 11:32 |
If I execute M-x appt-add with deadline at 11:39:
| Appointment in 5 min. | 11:35 |
| Appointment in 3 min. | 11:37 |
| Appointment in 1 min. | 11:39 |

I will add some documentation saying that the former should be a
multiple of the latter.

I cannot reproduce this, and can't really see how this could happen.
Which Emacs version and platform is this, and does it happen starting
from `emacs -q --no-site-file'?

More information was requested two months ago, and was apparently not
given, so I'm closing this bug report.
