The issue is systematic.

I have changed my settings to:

 org-hide-leading-stars nil
 org-startup-folded nil 

But that doesn't change anything.

I have quasi systematically the issue I described when the file that will be modified by the capture is not visible when I capture, and generally I don't have it when it is visible when I do.

Currently, the place where that happens most (?) is when I add captured text in a "file+datetree" structure right over a "file+headline" structure.
