Yes, that seems to me the behavior I am seeing. Are you saying that this is not a bug? It is certainly very surprising behavior. I had the "make blocked tasks invisible" setting for months, and then only recently started limiting the number of entries, so it took me quite some time to figure out why I was seeing only, for example, 4 items in the agenda when I was expecting to see 10 (which is where the org-agenda-max-entries setting is) - the two settings are not obviously related. Also, this is inconsistent with other settings like org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done and org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled, which actively remove items from the agenda view. I understand that the setting has the verb "skip" rather than "dim" in it, but that's not enough of an indicator up front to know that the two settings work differently when it comes to counting towards the total. > You may want to skip altogether blocked tasks instead. What do you mean by that?
