...nested contexts that might be considered a bug, or at least unexpected. It appears that the intent of the Stalled filter in context view is to show all the contexts which don't have any available actions. What threw me off the scent for a while is that I have lots of nested contexts, such as:

Errands
Errands:Grocery Store
Errands:Costco
Errands:Library
Internet
Internet:Macbook

and if Errands:Costco is empty but Errands is not, I'll get a listing of all the actions in Errands that didn't get filed in one of the nested contexts, making it look like the Stalled filter isn't working (how can things be stalled if there's all this work that can be done?) For my part, I think I'll go back to not using the Stalled filter in context view, as it provides little or no apparent value to me, but I would be interested to hear how others make use of it.

This is one of the undesirable aspects of using nested contexts. Question: Other than the apparent organization that it affords, do you find that using nested context offers other advantages as well?
