It looks like org-habit only handle the ".+" repeater correctly, though the document says it supports ".+", "++" and "+".
For example, when create agenda for the following org content. * TODO Test_+ SCHEDULED: <2015-03-02 Mon +1w> - State "DONE" from "TODO" [2015-02-23 Mon 10:56] - State "DONE" from "TODO" [2015-02-16 Mon 10:56] - State "DONE" from "TODO" [2015-02-10 Tue 10:56] - State "DONE" from "READY" [2015-02-02 Mon 10:56] :PROPERTIES: :STYLE: habit :LAST_REPEAT: [2015-02-23 Mon 10:56] :ID: e960c39e-4f92-4ef0-a5ee-a4d3fcfd26bf :END: * TODO Test_++ SCHEDULED: <2015-03-02 Mon ++1w> - State "DONE" from "TODO" [2015-02-23 Mon 10:56] - State "DONE" from "TODO" [2015-02-15 Sun 10:56] - State "DONE" from "READY" [2015-02-02 Mon 10:56] :PROPERTIES: :STYLE: habit :LAST_REPEAT: [2015-02-23 Mon 10:56] :END: The Test_+ was marked as DONE one day after 02-09 (did not finish on time) and Test_++ missed the 02-09 schedule. But the subsequent schedules are DONE on time. So, I expect there should be one red for each bar. But in fact, it mark the DONE on 02-16 of Test_+ as blue and the DONE on 02-23 of Test_++ as red, which should only happen when using ".+" -- the subsequent schedule will be shifted n day/week/month after the last repeat. http://imgur.com/Cvh0Xxb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Emacs : GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.10.7) of 2014-03-08 on lamiak, modified by Debian Package: Org-mode version 7.9.3f (release_7.9.3f-17-g7524ef @ /usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/org/) current state: ============== (setq org-export-preprocess-before-selecting-backend-code-hook '(org-beamer-select-beamer-code) org-tab-first-hook '(org-hide-block-toggle-maybe org-src-native-tab-command-maybe org-babel-hide-result-toggle-maybe org-babel-header-arg-expand) org-habit-preceding-days 30 org-speed-command-hook '(org-speed-command-default-hook org-babel-speed-command-hook) org-edit-timestamp-down-means-later t org-occur-hook '(org-first-headline-recenter) org-metaup-hook '(org-babel-load-in-session-maybe) org-agenda-start-on-weekday nil org-export-preprocess-before-normalizing-links-hook '(org-remove-file-link-modifiers) org-log-done t org-confirm-shell-link-function 'yes-or-no-p org-export-latex-final-hook '(org-beamer-amend-header org-beamer-fix-toc org-beamer-auto-fragile-frames org-beamer-place-default-actions-for-lists) org-export-latex-after-initial-vars-hook '(org-beamer-after-initial-vars) org-habit-following-days 3 org-agenda-include-diary t org-after-todo-state-change-hook '(org-clock-out-if-current) org-src-mode-hook '(org-src-babel-configure-edit-buffer org-src-mode-configure-edit-buffer) org-tags-column 80 org-agenda-before-write-hook '(org-agenda-add-entry-text) org-babel-pre-tangle-hook '(save-buffer) org-mode-hook '(#[nil "\300\301\302\303\304$\207" [org-add-hook change-major-mode-hook org-show-block-all append local] 5] #[nil "\300\301\302\303\304$\207" [org-add-hook change-major-mode-hook org-babel-show-result-all append local] 5] org-babel-result-hide-spec org-babel-hide-all-hashes) org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c-hook '(org-babel-hash-at-point org-babel-execute-safely-maybe) org-cycle-hook '(org-cycle-hide-archived-subtrees org-cycle-hide-drawers org-cycle-show-empty-lines org-optimize-window-after-visibility-change) org-habit-show-habits-only-for-today nil org-export-latex-format-toc-function 'org-export-latex-format-toc-default org-export-blocks '((src org-babel-exp-src-block nil) (export-comment org-export-blocks-format-comment t) (ditaa org-export-blocks-format-ditaa nil) (dot org-export-blocks-format-dot nil)) org-agenda-tags-column -30 org-export-first-hook '(org-beamer-initialize-open-trackers) org-export-interblocks '((src org-babel-exp-non-block-elements)) org-modules '("org-habit" org-bbdb org-bibtex org-docview org-gnus org-info org-jsinfo org-irc org-mew org-mhe org-rmail org-vm org-w3m org-wl) org-fast-tag-selection-single-key 'expert org-agenda-window-setup 'current-window org-agenda-span 14 org-confirm-elisp-link-function 'yes-or-no-p org-metadown-hook '(org-babel-pop-to-session-maybe) org-completion-use-ido t org-export-kill-product-buffer-when-displayed t org-habit-graph-column 30 org-agenda-files '("~/Dropbox/notes/TODOList.org") org-clock-out-hook '(org-clock-remove-empty-clock-drawer) )
