This may well have been reported before but if you delete an uncompleted task from a project and then later on click to complete the project you will still get a message "incomplete project tasks will be marked as cancelled" even though all tasks visible to the user have been completed.

Confused me for a while this one...

    Yes, I ran into that one today and was confused.

    I kept thinking, "now what the heck happened... are there hidden tasks here or something?"

    Sort of made me hesitant to complete the action.

    I think if you hold Ctrl down when picking the task check box it will mark it as cancelled. When you go to the log book, you will find these task with a line across them.

    I don't really understand the purpose for this feature.

    Give it a try. It works with single task too. You should see the task at the bottom of the screen with a line across it and when you collect your completed items, you will find these in the logbook with a line across them and an "x" where the check mark usually is.

    I've used it a few times - usually where my acute procrastination has made the task redundant.

    Sometimes GTD, tomato timers, unplugging the internet makes no difference :(

    Procrastination is one of the biggest failure diseases.

    I am always taking medication for it. :-)

    I try to prevent it but it's not possible to never procrastinate. We all get burned out at times.

    Hard work may pay off tomorrow, but procrastination always pays off today.

    The early bird get's the worm, but the second mouse get's the cheese. Cheese must taste better than worms.
