Hi, I found following strange behaviour: with windwos 10 emacs-version: GNU Emacs 26.3 (build 1, x86_64-mingw32) of 2019-08-29 org-version: 9.3.1-elpaplus if I use following sequence the coloring of the keywords is not working: (org-id-update-id-locations) (setq org-id-link-to-org-use-id t) (setq org-agenda-deadline-leaders '("!D! " "D%02d: " "D-%02d: ")) (setq org-agenda-scheduled-leaders '(" " "S%02d: ")) (setq org-todo-keywords '((type "TODO(t!)" "STARTED(s@)" "WAITING(w@)" "DELEGATED(g@)" "MEET(m!)" "SOMEDAY(s!)" "PROJECT" "|" "DONE(d!)" "CANCELED(c!)"))) (setq org-todo-keyword-faces '( ("TODO" :foreground "medium blue" :weight bold) ("MEET" :foreground "deep sky blue" :weight bold) ("STARTED" :foreground "dark orange" :weight bold) ("WAITING" :foreground "red" :weight bold) ("SOMEDAY" :foreground "dark blue" :weight bold) ("DELEGATED" :foreground "dark orange" :weight bold) ("CANCELED" :foreground "forest green" :weight bold) ("PROJECT" :foreground "#088e8e" :weight bold))) According to my examination the problem is with org-id-update-id-locations. Removeing that column makes it work again. If I put that line behind it works also again
