Rectification: Adding a "#+STARTUP: overview" on top of my habits
org-mode file did not change anything with org-agenda follow indirect
buffer.

Yes, if I manually open my habits org-mode file everything is folded.
And if I unfold a task, its drawers are still folded. Which is correct.

But when the same task is shown on an indirect buffer by org-agenda
follow mode, every drawers are unfolded.
