Often I do something in an org buffer and then display the
agenda to see my tasks. Then later I switch back to that buffer with 
switch-to-buffer and find that building of the agenda moved the cursor 
from the point I was to the end of the buffer.

It's a bit annoying. Shouldn't org-agenda use save-excursion in org
buffers, so the cursor is not moved from the point the user left it?

Building of the agenda shouldn't affect the buffer state this way
since it's a reading operation.

I have never seen this problem.

Looks like it happens only if specify a skip function for the block agenda.
I'll try to narrow down the location and get back to you when I know more
about the problem.

Ah, that is interesting.  Can I have a look at the full custom command  
definition you are using?

Thanks.

Turned out I called one of my own functions from the skip function with a
delay (so it ran after agenda construction finished) and that function 
moved the cursor, so org was innocent.

Sorry for the noise. I'll be more careful next time before reporting a 
problem.

Hi Tom, I am glad it is resolved.
