The test file shown below produces strange behavior when doing a tag search. This behavior is described after the file. The Org-Mode version is 6.29trans on GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.14.4) of 2009-08-01 on leucaena, modified by Debian.

To see the strange behavior, do the following.
M-S-< (to place the cursor at the beginning of the file)
C-c \ student1+attendance|student2+attendance
C-u 2 C-n
TAB
C-u 6 C-n
TAB

Instead of the cursor going to the first column of the table (which is what should occur), the following USUALLY occurs (sometimes something else wrong happens): the table is folded and the cursor appears at the end of the line "x= did not attend..."

Now hit TAB and the "*** Attendance" subtree is folded (usually).

TAB
C-u 6 C-n
TAB
and the correct behavior occurs.

This behavior doesn't happen if the tag search doesn't include an "or".

I rely on these type of searches. I haven't encountered this problem in previous versions of Org-Mode. How is this issue fixed?
