Created attachment 119348 [details] screenshot showing problem
The task shows up in black in my task list. Have you tried synchronizing the task? The task list update might have missed it.
(In reply to comment #2) > The task shows up in black in my task list. Have you tried synchronizing the > task? The task list update might have missed it. I've tried synchronizing the task, synchronizing the query in the task list and opening the task editor. Nothing seems to work. In my eyes this is pretty major since the appearance in the task list is a visual indicator if follow-up is needed.
Agreed. My assumption was that the underlying cause was a temporary network problem. Rob, how is the task in question showing up for you?

Can't reproduce here. David, have you tried deleting the sub task and resynching the parent? This might get it back to normal but perhaps before doing this, make a copy the offline task data for this particular task and your tasklist in case we need you to check something. Steffen, could this arise from the offline task data being up to date but the task itself not having been update (due to a crash at the right moment)?

Created attachment 119349 [details] the exported task
Just copy the following two files somewhere for safe keeping: ~/workspace/.metadata/.mylyn/ tasklist.xml.zip ~/workspace/.metadata/.mylyn/offline/https%3A%2F%2Fbugs.eclipse.org%2Fbugs$/256718.zip
A forced synchronization should overwrite the task data and update the tasks status. Did anything in Bugzilla recently change that could affect the parsing of search results or updating of the task from task data? I noticed in my task list that tasks sometimes show up as "[id]: " before being fully synchronized. It seems that the summary is not updated when partial task data is returned. Maybe that is related to this bug?

I'm not aware of any recent changes that could have affected this but will dig around.
Created attachment 119394 [details] screenshot showing task with good font but not a subtask I've taken a backup and then deleted the task from the task list. After synchronizing the query the task reappears with the proper font and without the completed checkmark as expected, however.... the task no longer appears as a subtask despite the fact that it blocks another task. See attached screenshot
Created attachment 119395 [details] diff between old exported task and new exported task I exported the task again, unzipped it and did a diff on the files in the new export versus the old export. The only difference that I found between the two is that the old tasklist.xml has @EndDate="1969-12-31 16:00:00.0 PST@ whereas the new export has @EndDate=""@ I've attached a screenshot showing the diff
Created attachment 119396 [details] the new task export
Created attachment 121484 [details] patch I found a fix for this. If a task was reopened the CompletionDate exists and was not set to null.

Great work! Frank, would you be able to create a test case for this bug?
