I think we don't have a clear definition what 'current' means in this context. I assume you are under the (legitimate) impression that it means tasks of the current day. I think (didn't check) currently it's just a list of the tasks in the order they were created.
As a user here, I fully expect that the list of "Current Tasks" are tasks that are currently within scope. What's the point of doing a task that cannot be started yet?
Of course. I get your argument and I think it's valid
What I mean is that the title doesn't say "today" but "Current tasks". So it makes sense to me to show a small preview of the future. In the evening for example I might want to look at the tasks of tomorrow. If we don't want that and these should really just be tasks of the current day the title should be adjusted accordingly.
It seems right now we show tasks in the order they were created or something similar (didn't check).
Probably should be separate feature request issue, but having controllable list views with differing sort orders and filters (urgency, priority, due date, etc.) would be great. I heavily leveraged this during the brief time I was using Todoist.
The home page only filters by due dates, showing you the tasks with a closest due date first and then the others. After that it shows the tasks by creation date, that's why it showed the task in your example with the start date some time later. If you'd have another task with a due date it would show that before the other one.
I agree the wording could be better but to me, this works as intended. Different users have different needs for what is "current" so we try to provide a base line here and every customisation of that should happen via saved filters. I think there's an item somewhere in the backlog to let the user select a saved filter to be shown instead of what "current" is right now.
Did you check if saved filters do that for you?
I will note that this causes repeating tasks to seem like they're immediately returned to the docket to be done again. Something I'd consider horrible UX on the default view for a user.
It'd be ideal if I could pin some of these filters to the home page instead of the default unfiltered view to allow the user to customize what they prioritize.
They can deliver filtered views, but lacks the sorting that I'd like.
This is being discussed here: https://community.vikunja.io/t/repeatable-tasks-appear-to-just-have-start-due-dates-reset-instead-of-creating-a-clone/468/2
Maybe we can make it clearer what is shown in the meantime by adding this info in a info popup next to the headline.
