I dug through the old commits and found where this behaviour has been introduced: Commit 0bbf3a9bd message details the current behaviour and its caveats: >> When marking a repeated entry DONE in the daily or weekly agenda, that >> task would previously still be shown as TODO, because the repeater >> immediately restores the TODO state after moving the time stamp.

As you can see, the todayp condition is avoiding issues with weekly agenda when the same habit is displayed multiple times. The problem you observed is also noted and left unresolved. Ideas how to deal with the described are welcome! Best, Ihor
