"Repeat after 1 day" becomes misteriously "every 1 day"

kcin says:

I add a task with interval "repeat after 1 day".

During the day I complete the task and I check the automatically generated new task to make sure it is set to "repeat after 1 day". It is.

The next day I turn on the computer and take a look at the task to check the interval. It is set to "repeat every 1 day".


Since "every day" and "after 1 day" means two different things according to the documentation, I must assume it's a bug.

New info: I reloaded the list in Firefox and now it shows correctly "repeat after 1 day", so it seems like a caching issue.

I've already noticed before that sometimes the list shown by the browser is out of sync and I have to reload to see the current status correctly.

I don't use any other interface to manipulate my task lisk, only Firefox, so it cannot be modified via an other channel behind the browser's back.

I suspect it has something to do with the Gears extension which might cache a previous state and present it to the browser.

Yes, it seems Gears is the culprit.

I always access my tasklist via the link https://www.rememberthemilk.com/offline, so that it works regardless if I'm offline or not.

Via the offline link it shows the incorrect status, but if go via https://www.rememberthemilk.com then it's OK.

Until now I thought the offline link always show the current status, since it synchronizes automatically, but apparently it is not the case.
