org-habit and Org 8.3

org-habit and Org 8.3

[John Wiegley]

Hello,

I've upgrade today to Org 8.3.1, and I've noticed that any customization which
used overlays (mainly, org-habit) now displays no overlays in the Agenda
buffer.

Is this something others have already seen and found a fix for?

Thanks,
  John

It doesn't ring a bell.

Would you have an ECM?

Check to see that the properties drawer that specifies that a task is a
habit is just after SCHEDULED or a similar keyword. This was a change
made in 8.3 or 8.3.1. See http://orgmode.org/Changes.html for a function
to repair your properties drawers.

I cannot replicate this. Habits are displaying correctly on my machine.

Calling describe-text-properties on the habit graph shows the following:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Text content at position 1480:

There are text properties here:
  face                 org-habit-overdue-face
  tags                 ("inbox" "per" "email")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

org-version:
8.3.1

Upon upgrading, my org-habits did not display correctly, because the
PROPERTY drawer where the habit style was indicated came after the
LOGBOOK in my org files.

After using org-repair-property-drawers 

  http://orgmode.org/Changes.html

my habits returned to their previous appearance.

That's not directly overlay related, but since the symptoms sounded
similar I thought I'd chime in.

Hope that helps,
Josiah

Is there a reason why this was done?  I rather liked having my PROPERTY
drawers at the bottom of each entry, out of the way.  That way, every record
in my Org file ends with ":END:", closing its property drawer (every single
headline I create has an accompanying PROPERTY drawer).

Efficiency. Searching through large sections only to find there is no
property drawer in it has a cost. Now, properties are accessed in
constant time.
