Minor colouring (font lock) annoyance

Minor colouring (font lock) annoyance

[Bernt Hansen]

Hi Carsten,

I've noticed a problem with colour tasks in my use of org-mode which I
thought I should bring to your attention.

This is just a font lock issue (I think) with the org clock history
list.  When I display my clock history with C-u C-c C-x C-i some of the
entries are not displayed in the correct colours.

   - Some DONE tasks have DONE in green, others in BLACK

   - Tasks seem to either be coloured correctly or not coloured at all

Right now I have:

,----
| Default Task
| [d] norang          STARTED Organization
| The task interrupted by starting the last one
| [i] norang          STARTED Email, News, and IRC
| Current Clocking Task
| [c] norang          STARTED Organization
| Recent Tasks
| [1] norang          STARTED Organization
| [2] norang          STARTED Email, News, and IRC
| ...
| [Z] todo            DONE Take Mark swimming
`----

d, i, c, and 1-2 are black (no colours at all)
3-9, A-D are coloured properly
E-H are black (no colours)
I is coloured
J-L is black
M is coloured
N is black
O, P are coloured
Q, R are black
S, T are coloured
U, V are black
W is coloured
X-Z are black (no colours)

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which ones get colours
and which don't as far as I can tell.

Let me know if there's anything else I can provide to try to figure out
what's going on here.

Regards,
Bernt

I do not actively color these tasks, but any headlines that
have been *visible* in a window will have been fontified,
others will not have bee fontified.  Org just copies the
text for this list.  Maybe I should make then all without
colors?

Okay.  That's a perfect explanation for me -- and I'll just ignore that
color or lack of colour issue.  It's actually a lot easier to read
coloured than not so please don't bother making them all black. :)

I can also actively give them a color.  Should these be the correct  
level colors, or some particular color?

The actual level colours with highlighted TODO keywords and other
cookies would be ideal I think.

I find the TODO keywords and cookies in a different font from the
heading text helps a lot.  Also if different tasks are at different
levels they get different heading text colours which breaks up the list
nicely.

Cookies are coloured but nothing else seems to be so it's mostly black
for me now.  That's probably not what you intended :)
