Bug: Recurring items NEVER show up in timeline unaccompanied

["Mark S" <throaway@yahoo.com>]

You know, I think this may be the same bug I ran into 3 years ago when I  
last tried Org-mode. Is there any hope that this will be addressed? I note  
that this forum is the only location given for sending bug reports in the  
documentation.

Thanks!
Mark
