bug: isearch hides text that should be shown, ignoring all show variables

[Samuel Wales]

a similar bug to "bug: isearch puts ellipses at top of window" [which
has an ecm]:

* aa
* a
text
*** b
text
*** c
text
* d

and isearch for text sometimes produces the output below at top of window:

...
* a
text
...
* d

and sometimes this:

...
* a
text
*** b
* d

both are not what i want.  to me, nothing should ever be hidden in org
unless it can be hidden using arrow keys and tab.

i don't have an ecm.

Indeed. I don't like it either, but it makes sense: to show the minimal
context around information. What you suggest means to show all top-level
children in the entry. This can be invasive when there are many
children.

Anyway, the point here is that you can use `org-reveal' (C-c C-r) to get
a more regular visibility.

i am pretty sure that no org variables allow specifying this so that
it happens without you doing that.

is it the case that doing org-reveal as an after defadvice to
org-show-context should guarantee canonical visibility?

if there are cases when it does not guarantee that, then what does?

thanks.

It guarantees canonical visibility with optional argument, i.e.,
(org-reveal t)

I'm pondering if (org-reveal nil) is really useful or if it should
always be (org-reveal t), in a sense.
