New task not showing in Plotentials

When in looking at a potentials page (I have retasked it to Current Work to manage more than sales) I can add a new task in the Activities section of the page, yet it does not show up in the Activities section on that page, now or later. The new task does show up in "Open Tasks" on the home page, likewise if I go to "Products" and choose "Activities" it shows. But if I run a report on Tasks and Activities it does not show. Is this right?
