Re: [Orgmode] bug? - can't set effort from agenda

[George Pearson]

Since Noorul can set the effort in the agenda, must be something to do
with me.  (Far) below is the output of org-submit-bug-report.

The problem has now changed though, since I added this line to my two
org files:

#+PRIORITIES: A Z Z

Now when I type "e" on a task in the agenda, and hit a number key to
set the effort, I get the following:

byte-code: Before first headline at position 223 in buffer master.org.

Position 223 is the 1st character of the line following the priorities
line.  I have also seen position 203, which is the first character of
the "priorities" line itself.  Unfortunately, it would be a bit time-
consuming for me to remove the "priorities" line, as I now have a
number of tasks outside of the usual A-C range that would need to be
adjusted first.  Can do it if necessary though.
