super-agenda defaults to 4 days earlier in schedule

[rprechelt]

When opening an agenda view using org-super-agenda, the default agenda view is 4 days in the past i.e. today is Thursday but the default view is for Monday (4 days earlier). On Wednesday, the default view was Sunday (also 4 days earlier).

Opening emacs -Q, I load org-super-agenda and then configure it org-super-agenda with:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("o" "Overview"
         ((agenda "" ((org-agenda-span 'day)
                      (org-super-agenda-groups
                       '(
                         (:name "Today"
                          :time-grid t
                          :date today
                          :order 1)
                         )))))))

This is the only super-agenda configuration that I specified.

Opening a non-super agenda with M-x org-agenda then going to the agenda view a, I open a day view with d. This opens the agenda view for the correct day (Thursday). The date reported in the emacs (M-x calendar) is also the correct day (Thursday).

Opening the super-agenda view configured above, the agenda view defaults to 4 days in the past (Monday) - I can move the agenda view forward/back as normal (with f/b) but resetting with g returns it to the wrong date.

This is under Emacs 27.1.

Any advice on how to debug this strange issue?

As the FAQ in the readme explains, this package does not create agenda views--it only groups items that are produced by them. I have no explanation for the behavior you've described. The only suggestion I can give is to start tracing the source code that runs when you execute the commands that seem to do the wrong thing.

Thanks!

Please let me know if you figure out what the problem was. I don't see how it could be caused by org-super-agenda, but stranger things have happened...

This is quite old but I am adding a comment for someone who has the same ask.

(setq org-agenda-start-day nil)
