I started using column view (finally), and noticed two things I thought were odd:
1. The %ITEM specification is zero-width by default, while the other special properties default to being as big as they need to be. This just seems a little odd. A column spec of %ITEM %TODO will show the TODO properly, but just a dot for the item. Shouldn't it default to fully-visible? 2. The text for %ITEM has the face org-whitespace applied to the leading stars, which doesn't exist anymore. I assume the intended effect was that the stars take up space, emulating indentation, but not themselves be visible. I guess that would be done by replacing the org-whitespace face with whatever's being used as the column background color but I don't know enough about faces to make that work. I also tried switching 'org-whitespace to 'invisible, but that didn't do anything. This is in org-columns-cleanup-item. The first one's not a big deal. The second would be nice to resolve -- it's ugly! Thanks, Eric
