Current Issues excluded from Gantt based on Date Range
I already entered this bug report, but in the meantime, does anyone have a workaround they can suggest? (Note that the dates are related to when I first posted the bug report; I know that they are a little old.)
I consider this to be a bug in the way Gemini selects issues for display in the Gantt chart. Only issues whose start date and end date fall within the selected date range appear in the list. The list should include issues whose start date or end date falls within the selected date range.
A real-life example of why this is a problem:
Last Friday (August 31, 2007) I entered a major issue and set the start date to Monday Sept 2 and the end date to Monday October 1. Since we're a 4-person shop, I expect the issue to take a month of work to resolve.
On Monday, I opened the Gantt chart for the project, and the issue appeared within the default date range of "Today plus one month," or Sept 2 to Oct 2.
At Tuesday morning's team meeting, I opened the Gantt chart, and the default date range was Sept 3 to Oct 3. This major, ongoing issue did not appear on the chart, even though the end date of the issue was before the end date of the chart.
Adding to the baffled looks among team members was the fact that the chart had automatically adjusted its display to include Monday, in order to display the entire week of Sept 2.
Although (for me) this is a serious issue that has existed in previous versions, I have marked this bug as "Major" and not "Showstopper" because there is a workaround of changing the start/end dates after the chart loads. However, for some longer issues which may have timelines of several months or a year, it is not practical to set such a large date range just to ensure that these issues appear.
