This is a reminder that this old bug report still can't be fixed
as long as outlines make the newline of the heading line invisible
instead of hiding the last newline of the last line.

The same problem was discussed in bug#59141 and bug#65896.
And a possible solution is to add a variable that shifts the
overlay by 1 character.  When this change has no problems,
later it could be enabled by default.
