Hi Carsten,

Here I am replying to a 2.5 year old post...  I assume this hasn't been
fixed yet.  I think I was the other person who mentioned this ages ago.
I'm still seeing this 'go to the wrong place' scenario up to a few times
per day.

It's really annoying - you 'go to' a task and it's the wrong place --
but if you do it again it works.  I've seen this occur in the following
cases:

   - looking at an agenda and hitting SPC or TAB to get to the task
   - jumping to the last refile task with C-u C-u C-c C-w
   - jumping to the last remember task with C-u C-u C-M-r

With follow mode on I've never noticed this bug but I don't use
follow-mode regularly.

Let me know if you can think of anything I can provide to help track
down this bug.

Regards,
Bernt
