Some ideas on what to try, in order to narrow down possibilities: * Does 'B s' (reschedule, instead of re-deadline) fail in the same way as 'B d'? How about other bulk actions? * How about if you unmark only the second entry, leaving 1,3,4... marked, in case the problem is specifically the second entry? * Do all the entries have a deadline to start with? (Shouldn't make a difference, but might be useful to know). * Have you ever used 'edebug'? That would be my next step.
