I think what you are seeing is the intended behaviour. If you set a deadline warning day it only shows up in your agenda when 'today' is within the warning period (ie. you're less than 14 days away from the deadline date). I don't think you can set a deadline for 6 months in the future with -14d and expect to see the warning when you view the calendar a week before that deadline since the deadline is still 6 months away from today. -Bernt
