Re: Bug: refiling gobbles a newline and absorbs the next heading [9.1.9 (release_9.1.9-65-g5e4542 @ /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/)]

It's interesting that you are unable to reproduce the result. I have Emacs 26.3 
(9.0) on macOS Mojave 10.14.6. I have reproduced it with `emacs -q`, so the 
problem is not my init file. Then I don't know what the culprit is and am 
curious and available to try things to find it.
