Resurrecting an old thread:  

Bernt: I'm experiencing the issue you describe above (i.e., drawers
revealed when following a headline from the agenda) after restarting
emacs. I have not been able to solve the problem.

I was wondering if you had customized the variables org-show-entry-below
and org-show-hierarchy-above? I have not customized these variables,
which makes it even more unusual that the drawers are revealed when
following a headline from the agenda, since the default for
org-show-entry-below is nil.

Thanks,
Matt
