Hello,
I've been noticing some unusual behavior when I manipulate headlines (Org 9.2).
I have the following (or something similar) at the very end of many Org files:
* LOCAL VARIABLES
# Local Variables:
# mode: org
# coding: utf-8-unix
# End:
If I copy this subtree (C-c C-x M-w) and then yank it (C-c C-x C-y) into into the same file or another file, only the headline is yanked, the rest of the subtree is not.
In addition, if I decide to delete a different headline in the file (C-c C-x C-w) while the LOCAL VARIABLES headline is folded, then this appears on the display:
* LOCAL VARIABLES...# Local Variables:
# mode: org
# coding: utf-8-unix
# End:
I don't know if these facts are relevant or not, but this behavior happens when org-indent-mode is both on and off, and I have org-tags-column set to 0.
The folding behavior is not big deal since S-TAB or something similar corrects everything, but it is inconvenient to have to use regular copy and yank commands when I want to copy the subtree to a different file. Can anyone provide some insight into this?

This is because Org now has some code preserving file local variables at
the end of the document. Some headings related commands -- e.g., moving
or sorting them -- just ignore these comments.
If you really want to copy them, mark the section, with
`org-mark-subtree' and copy it with M-w.

I fixed it. Thank you.

Okay, I understand now.
