Now using this command when the problem happens:


(defun fp-org-adjust-visual-margins ()
  "Recompute visual left margins, for when they seem incorrect."
  (interactive)
  (message "Adjusting visual margins...")
  (org-indent-add-properties (point-min) (point-max))
  (message "Adjusting visual margins...done"))


and it /does/ correct the display.

I cannot reproduce it either.  It just occurs, once in a while, I did
not find a pattern yet.

No, I did not observe any.


All summarized, I have an interim solution so I can continue to edit
comfortably when the display problem happens.  And if I can get a more
usable description of the problem, in a way that can be reproduced, I'll
surely share that description.

Thanks for caring! :-)
