header-line.

Here are links to two (2) youtube videos showing the issue on Emacs 26.1 (built 
by https://emacsformacosx.com/ a few months ago) and also the master branch 
that I built using a commit from 07/10/2019 
(40cd6278ba965f3a9fcdddc568eb9ee7c69cf899).  I don't have a 26.2 build at the 
moment.  The issue is less noticeable on the master branch, but can still be 
seen nevertheless.  I have not studied the code as to what makes this feature 
work, but offhand would think that the header-line should not be overwritten by 
the row moving upwards (rather than updated after it has been overwritten).
