This showed up in the iPhone app, and I like it because it keeps my overdue tasks on the same list as tasks with due dates yet to be done. However when I synced my Mac Omnifocus with the iPad, the "Remaining Due" Perspective did not sync over, nor did I get the "Perspective >" item on the sidebar.
I knew something was wrong when a reviewer mentioned Perspectives and his screenshot had the "Perspective >" item on the sidebar. A data reset on the iPad did not help. On a whim, I decided to create a second Perspective. I randomly decided to change the Estimated Time Filter from "Any Duration" to "5 min" on my own "Remaining Due" Perspective and I saved this as "5 Min," so now I had 2 Perspectives that I had created. The next time I synced, both Perspectives showed up on the iPad.
Now, did what I just explain above satisfy your criterion that I did "create a custom context mode perspective on the Mac" to get the "perspectives sidebar item" to show up and that the second perspective should not have been necessary? Does this indicate a bug?

Found out a little while ago that another possibility for what's causing this is if your "Remaining Due" perspective was created a long time ago, I don't know when off-hand, but I think around OF 1.6 or earlier. Around that time we started keeping track of new perspective data that's used to order them on the iPad. If you made this perspective before we started keeping that data and never modified it afterwards, then it probably won't show up until you add another perspective.
It is possible there's a bug here, but so far we've been unable to reproduce it so any information you think might be pertinent please let us know. Thanks!
