Are there some settings that will cause an org-file to be open with the outlines all folded up even if the cursor was supposed to be at a certain point in the file?

I am using vulpea-ui, vulpea-find etc when I search for something and open it, although the location of the item search must be known and was passed to the file open command, the outlines are closed, instead of being expanded at the set location.

These are the start up options in my files

#+STARTUP: overview logdrawer lognotedone shrink and I've got the org-bars, org-indent and org-tidy packages installed.

The overview option is the most likely cause of it but if the file is opened with the point supposed to be at some location, can't there be some option to unfold the outline expanded at point?
