[O] Bug: Recurring items don't always show up in timeline

I posted this before as a question, but since it has been confirmed by others, and shows up under Linux and Windows, I'll now post the details as a bug.

The Timeline view *would* be very useful for scheduling months in advance, reviewing history, or printing a year event calendar. Unfortunately, it appears that it can't really be trusted. The basic problem is that in AGENDA TIMELINE view ("C-a L") recurring items are frequently and unpredictably dropped from the view. The regular AGENDA view works fine AFAIK -- its the TIMELINE that is at issue.

Below is a version of the calendar I'm using. There are two date ranges as well as regular dates. It might be that recurring events that occur on days that are inside of a date range do not show up. But not necessarily. On mine, "Bath for dog" doesn't show up on April 14th, for instance which happens to be inside of a date range. The Pay Cell Phone item does not occur 90 days later (about 4/15) which would also be inside of a date range. BUT it also does not occur on or near 7/15, which is not inside of a date range.

Likewise, the "Do this every 3 months" item does not show up in June, even though it would not fall inside of a date range.

If there's some magic incantation that will make this data work, it would be nice to know ;-)
