* Heading won't unfold on TAB if last line has just spaces, with empty line preceding.

There's something weird with headings that can cause unfolding to fail. Headings can 
be folded with TAB refuse to unfold - they need Shift-TAB to see the contents. This 
is scary as it looks like content has been accidentally deleted whereas it's really 
just hidden.

The TAB-cycling worked as expected in Org 9.1.9 for the following example but fails 
in 9.4.

The example below illustrates the difficulties:

  * Block 1 - you can delete X to leave two empty lines and TAB on "Block 1" (or 1a)
    cycles as expected - GOOD!

But if the last line isn't empty but has spaces:

  * Block 2 - deleting X (leaving empty line) and then Z to leave the last line with
    just a space (one or more) and heading will fold on TAB /but won't unfold/.
    Shift-Tab is needed.
  * Block 3 - the same symptoms as Block 2 but has a subtree to show
    "Folded/Children/Subtree" when Tab-cycling on level one heading.

Cheers
Giovanni

===================

* Block 1 - OK
Block 1 text

** Block 1a heading
Block 1a content
X
X
* BAD BLOCK 2 - Delete X & Z, then TAB WON'T UNFOLD
Block 2 content
X
  Z
* BAD BLOCK 3 - TAB WON'T UNFOLD
   Block 2 content

** BAD BLOCK 3a
    Block 3a content
X
  Z
* Block 4 - OK
The end
