Serious GX error #1

I just came across an rather serious error in GX. Joanna from METEOR publishes an Agenda Item that contains a seminar. The seminar happens today but does not show up on the designated website. I fetch it using the MEDIA OVERVIEW on an otherwise empty page. The terms by which it filters the Media Repository Items are correct, Publication Date and Expiration Date is also correct and everything looks fine. But it does not show up on the correct page. Supprisingly when clicking on "More events" it suddenly does show up there.

An experiment reveals the error. When I change the Start date of the seminar in question it shows up correctly on the page I want it to show up. It would be logical if changes to the Expiration Date would alter the visibility of the Agenda Item but this has no effect. The Item only shows up when I change the actual start date of the seminar regardless of the content of the expiration date.

This is a serious error. It means that in order to display an Agenda Item using the MEDIA OVERVIEW one has to accept that events which happen today do not show up there. They do show up in the general AGENDA page (the one you arrive when clicking on "More events")

Any Answers?
