Choosing the 'Incomplete Tasks' option in Tasks view as no effect at all. Nothing happens. All the other options (Complete, All, Overdue, etc.) appear to be working but not Incomplete tasks. For example, if I choose Completed, the view pane shows the big list of crossed out tasks that have been completed. If I then click on Incomplete tasks, the list remains the same (list of completed tasks -- see image attached)

No. I picked up on that query (filter not working) when looking for anything resembling the problem I'm experiencing. But that problem seems to indicate the view actually showing the Incomplete Tasks list but the filter function not working. In my case I cannot get the tab to display the Incomplete Tasks listing - it just sticks to showing whatever other option was previously selected. Hence the surreal situation of choosing to view Completed Tasks, which works, then choosing Incomplete Tasks and it continuing to show a list of 'crossed out' completed tasks. Cheers Graham

I am experiencing the same issue.

I make daily use of tasks and would like to see this bug at least officially get confirmed and get some eyes on it to work for resolution.

Some facts

  • Only about 20 incomplete tasks
  • Over 100 total tasks
  • I have been using tasks since 2008 (oldest completed task, Mon 20 Oct 2008)
  • The incomplete task filter has no effect. I must use the "All" filter and filter manually.
  • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with all current updates as of Friday 20 March
  • Thunderbird V6.2.2


I just performed my upgrades for Ubuntu 18.4 LTS and picked up a new version of Thunderbird. The update was to version 68.4.1.

The problem still exists in this updated version.
