[BUG] Updating first subheading checkbox cookie resets parent cookie

[BUG] Updating first subheading checkbox cookie resets parent cookie

[Bruno Cardoso]

Hello everyone,

Consider the following tree:

* Task [1/3]
** TODO test1 [/]
- [x] a
- [ ] b  
** DONE test2
** TODO test3 [/]
- [X] x
- [ ] y

With point at the "test1" heading cookie ("[/]"), after =C-c C-c=, it gets updated to "[1/2]", but it also resets its parent's "Task" cookie to "[0/0]".

This only happens with the first heading of a subtree (updating the "task3" cookie works as expected).

Org mode version 9.8-pre (release_9.7.3-73-g96d149)


Best,

Bruno.
