Hi,

Inline tasks are a great feature of org-mode, very useful to include tasks
in all sorts of documents without interfering with the document structure.

But it seems that there are multiple issues with multiple org commands and
inline tasks (visibility, navigation, selection).

For that reason I already suggested a while ago that the * END line would
be indented 1 level more then the * start of the inline task. By that it
would behave like a normal subtree for all org-commands.

Here a minimal example of an issue with visibility cycling:
>>>
* Example
** heading 1
xxxxx
** heading 2
*************** TODO Test access with provided credentials
xxxxx
*************** END
** heading 3
*************** TODO State "high value" targets
:@CB:
xxxxx
*************** END
** heading 4
xxxxx
<<<

Stating collapsed, pressing TAB on the heading 2 already shows the issue.

IMO the suggested simple (but breaking (but easy to fix)) design change
would make inline tasks more compatible and stable, and even more intuitive
in the expanded visualization.

Regards,
Michael
