[chandler-users] #7894: not "purged" to the DONE section

[Mimi Yin]

Hi Rick,

Hm, triaging an item to DONE until a future alarm date fires is  
*supposed* to work.

I wonder if you are experiencing one of the many pop-to-now bugs  
we've been trying to track down over the last few months: http:// 
chandlerproject.org/Planning/OneDotZeroWorkQueue#PopToNowBugs

It would be interesting to know if you can reproduce this situation  
with items that aren't on the server.

Which do you mean by 'changes nothing'? The weird behavior you see  
above is the same regardless of whether you triage the item to DONE  
or LATER. Or substituting in LATER doesn't produce the weird behavior?
