Hierarchy display bugs - tasks are hidden that should be displayed in hierarchical view

[funjul...@gmail.com]

I have found a few hierarchy display bugs, many of which were discussed or reported earlier, and sent support a few emails about them.

The bugs involve tasks being hidden with "include parent" and "include child" off, or with parent filters on.

I am posting here to ask if others can reproduce the bugs, and if you agree that this is not the expected or desired behavior. If so, please also contact support about these bugs and maybe we can finally get them fixed!

I love MLO, but I am having trouble because there are several bugs with the hierarchy displays, which makes it hard for me to use the full power of the software.

The following example shows the bugs clearly:

red top (text tag: x)
 red middle
  red bottom
blue top (text tag: z)
 blue middle (text tag: xy)
  blue bottom
green top (text tag: z)
 green middle
  green bottom (text tag: xy)


1. With advanced filter for text tag x, hierarchy on, parent and child off:

What you should get:

red top
blue middle
green bottom

What you do get:

red top



2. With advanced filter for text tag y, hierarchy on, parent and child off:

What you should get:

blue middle
green bottom

What you do get: nothing



3. With advanced filter for text tag y, hierarchy on, parent on, child off, parent filter "text tag does not contain z"

What you should get:

blue middle
green middle
green bottom


What you do get:

green middle
green bottom

Thank you so much! I really hope this can be fixed soon because the program is amazing and it would be just what I needed with this bug fixed.

Here are additional clear examples of the other bugs with the hierarchical display:
