Bug in org-agenda.el (Was: Bad time display in agenda view)

[Vincent Beffara <vbeffara+ml@gmail.com>]

Ha, I got it ! 

When displaying the end time of an interval in agenda view, org-agenda transforms the initial time stamp to minutes, adds the default length to that and maps back to a time stamp using org-minutes-to-clocksum-string. The problem being that this functions checks org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations and if set to t, uses that in the formatting. Meaning that "8:00" is displayed as "1d 0:00" instead, and "17:30" as "2d 1:30" and so on.

I am afraid to change the code, so I just customized org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations to nil and everything works for now. But presumably this should be fixed by letting it be nil while formatting the end timestamp, somewhere near line 6404 of org-agenda.el ? 

HTH,

Cheers,
