Thanks for locating this. I don't know enough about Org's workings to see what in the change introduced the bug, but something did go wrong, and column widths + table alignments are broken. I hope someone can fix it!

Last week I got caught up on a week or two of Emacs and Org
development (I run both from development trees) and some tables
stopped aligning.  I worked one down to five lines:

With Org compiled from the dev tree in Git, when I load that file
(align.org) and hit C-c C-c, it doesn't align.  emacs -Q loads Org
8.2.10 (from the Emacs source) and it does align.

Does it work for others?  I assume it does---surely if other people
noticed this problem they'd have reported it already.


I can reproduce it with release_8.3beta-1274-gc76fef.
I bisected it to the following commit:
