Stuck in a folded section when subtree is folded

Stuck in a folded section when subtree is folded

[PT]

If a header has some text content under it and the cursor is in
the text then pressing TAB folds the content, but it doesn't
change the cursor position, so the cursor is stuck in the folded
part and, for example, beginning-of-line doesn't work, you can
only get out from the folded part if you press cursor up/down

Isn't it a bug?

If I stand on a header which has only subheaders under it and I
press TAB then the subtree is folded and the cursor is put back
to the beginning of the header line apparently to avoid leaving
the cursor in the folded part which is a nice gesture.

Shouldn't the same happen when textual content is folded?

Have you customized the variable org-cycle-emulate-tab?

No, it's nil. 

It's org 6.30, btw.

Wrong answer:  The correct answer would have been:

Yes, it is nil!

Because the default value is t!.  The default value means
that TAB will not at all fold an entry when the
cursor is not in the headline.  Maybe this is really the
setting you want?

You are correct, I set it to nil, but this was not the issue. I
thought you ask it because of some strange interaction.

I'm happy with the current setting. I want TAB to fold
everywhere. The problem is if I'm standing in a place like this


* header

some text <cursor is here> some other text


and press TAB then the subtree is folded properly, but the cursor
is stuck in the folded section:


* header <cursor appears here, it is in the folded section>...



and I think it should be put to the beginning of line to avoid leaving 
it in the folded section after a fold:


<cursor>* header...


Maybe I was not clear enough in the first post.

For the time being I fixed it for myself with an advice. Here it is
if someone's interested:

(defadvice org-cycle (after my-org-cycle activate)
  (if (outline-invisible-p)
      (outline-previous-visible-heading 1)))

I did understand the problem.

The reason why I am not moving the cursor after folding
is so that you can go back with another TAB, with the cursor
still at the same position.

In my setup, `C-a' works to bring the cursor to the beginning
of the headline.  What are you using to try to get to the
beginning of the lines?
