I posted this before as a question, but since it has been confirmed by
others, and shows up under Linux and Windows, I'll now post the
details as a bug.
The Timeline view *would* be very useful for scheduling months in
advance, reviewing history, or printing a year event
calendar. Unfortunately, it appears that it can't really be trusted.
The basic problem is that in AGENDA TIMELINE view ("C-a L") recurring
items are frequently and unpredictably dropped from the view. The
regular AGENDA view works fine AFAIK -- its the TIMELINE that is at
issue.
AFAICT, the culprit is org-get-all-dates: it matches date strings, translates
to number of days since the (imaginary) date 0001-12-31bce,
accumulates them in a list, sorts them, takes care of gaps - but
completely ignores any repeaters: iow, the "don't always show" in the
Subject line should more accurately say "never show".
Unless I'm missing something (again!), when I try it, they *do* repeat
*sometimes*. For example, the entry
TODO [#A] Bath for dog <2011-03-10 Thu +1w>
appears in agenda timeline as follows:
2011-03-10, miss 1 week, 2011-03-24, 2011-03-31, 2011-04-07, miss 7
weeks, 2011-06-02, miss 8 weeks (agenda terminates 2011-07-31).
