The only context tasks that show up are the one's that have projects associated with them. Stand alone tasks do NOT show up.
Sorry, if this sounds confusing.

OK, I'm with you now. The inbox is designed (a la GTD) for quickly jotting things down as they occur to you and then processing them into projects and contexts later. (In practice these two steps often blur together.) So when you process stuff in the inbox, you add projects and contexts to them. Then you do a "Clean up" to parcel them out to the main part of your outline. How those items are handled during clean up is specified in the "Data" section of OF preferences. Check those settings. Also, what list singleton actions should go to is handled there as well.
Hope that was clear and not too verbose. Am in a hurry.
