I am sorry for not being on point and specific.

dired-hide-details-mode also hides full lines other than header and
file/directory lines.  This includes the informational line right after
the header line.

    /my/directory:
    total used in directory 1M available 1.0G  <--
    drwx------  2 me me 4.0K Feb 11 17:35 file

Apply the patch, revert all hunks to dired-(next|previous)-line and move
point around the first lines of a dired buffer with hidden details.  Use
C-n and C-p for point movement.

Thank you very much.  I am going to do that after I incorporate your
feedback and give the code another round of testing.  Thank you so much
for your feedback and your help.
