OK, thanks.  I'll have a look at that.

If I jump from the agenda entry 'Fun', I get something like the
following:

* Stuff
** Fun...
** Boring...

If I press 'tab', I get

* Stuff
** Fun
   :LOGBOOK:...
   :OLDLOGS:...
** Boring

If I press 'tab' again, nothing happens.  If I press 'tab' a third time,
the heading fold back and I get

* Stuff
** Fun...
** Boring...

again.  I'm not sure why the second press performs no action.  In any
case, I only see the contents of the LOGBOOK draw if I move onto it and
then press 'tab' again.  So quite different from the behaviour you get.
