org-map-entries narrows to subtree

org-map-entries narrows to subtree

[Daniel Clemente]

Hi. After you eval this (for instance to count the number of headlines under a tree):

  (org-map-entries 'ignore t 'tree)

you end up with a different view of the buffer because (org-narrow-to-subtree) was called. This seems an unwanted side effect since narrowing is not org-map-entries' job.

  Should (save-excursion) be used inside (org-map-entries ... 'tree) ?

I would like to second this request, I often find myself calling (widen)
after using org-map-entries. -- Eric
