Actually, it didn’t!

But now I’m not seeing the original behavior either, though I haven’t changed anything. Don’t spend any more time on this - I’ll report back if I learn anything else.

Here’ s a very simple org file that exhibits the behavior I describe

-----------------

#+STARTUP: overview

* Hidden
- This should not initially appear
- Nor this

* Visible
:PROPERTIES:
:VISIBILITY: content
:END:
- This should appear
- And this

———————

Change the case of the word “VISIBILILTY” and the file's behavior on first loading changes.

When I load this file using emacs -Q (which loads org 9.6.15), both sections appear folded regardless of the case of “visibility”…! Is there some configuration variable I need to set?

My org file has the header line

One section contains the properties drawer

:PROPERTIES:
:Visibility: content
:END:

This used to show the contents of that subtree on first loading the file, but it no longer does. Experimentation shows that it works if I change “Visibility” to “VISIBILITY”. Is it a deliberate change to require upper case here? By the way, this is using org version 9.7pre

I am unable to reproduce.
Please provide more details, preferably starting from emacs -Q.
