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?
