Only the task that have been active are shown.
I can't see how many are in the buffer.

Press the 'Show all tasks' Button then.

Be nice if the default was to show all tasks. Saves the same question keep coming up. Besides, does anyone only show active tasks 24/7 or just occasionally to clear the clutter and see what's running?

Cheers,

The problem with showing all tasks by default is that when a user has a large cache of tasks, that chances are high that BOINC Manager will not connect to the client, due to the refresh rate being slower than being able to show the amount of work in cache in real time.
