Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.

I have a problem in org agenda. I have been able to reproduce this bug
in a simple environment. This is an example org file:

* TODO Task 1
<Already existing deadline>
* TODO Task 2

When I open org agenda, and I realize the deadline is far into the
past, I want to move the deadline to today. So, the easiest thing I can
think to do is C-u C-c C-d to remove the deadline, and then C-c C-d to
add the deadline again to make it today. However, when I do this, the
new deadline gets added to the task below, so I end up with something
like this:

* TODO Task 1
* TODO Task 2
<New deadline>

Is this the intended behavior? I think that org agenda expects the
deadline location to remain the same, but instead it gets removed, and
accidentally adds it to the next task, which is very annoying. A few
tasks of mine have disappeared into my large agenda file, and I've had
to go back digging through to re-find and deadline them because of
this. Are there any workarounds? Thanks!
