Hi David,

I don't have an immediate solution. To make it appear as above, I'm
assuming you have two blank lines after the end of each entry, right?

Your whitespace is still there, it's just that the visibility of the
blank lines has changed, as a result of calling org-overview. I didn't
realise that the effects on whitespace visibility differed between
org-overview and the "OVERVIEW" state of org-cycle. Does anyone know of
a suitable way to programmatically achieve identical effects to the
cycling induced by org-cycle?

Or, to ask a slightly different question, is there any convenient way to
use org-cycle in a lisp program and tell it to cycle to a particular
state?

In any case, my use of org-overview is probably not really appropriate,
since it alters visibility in all the subtrees, whereas the scroll
functions should probably only alter visibility in the subtrees in which
they are operating. So if that were fixed hopefully the whitespace
problem would disappear. I'll look into it.
