Hi, when using the Shift- feature in a table to copy values down, it fails to place the cursor where you expect it to if the previous column has a fixed width and the contents of the cell is truncated. Steps to reproduce: enter the following org table: | | <7> | | |---+---------+---| | 4 | podsdfsfsadastatoes | 1 | | 5 | podsdfsfsadastatoes | 2 | | 6 | | | press C-c C-c to ensure the second column is showing abbreviated. place cursor on the number 1, Shift- copies values to the next line but leaves the cursor in the wrong position, at the end of the string in the row that starts with 5 if you remove the <7> and repeat the experiment, the cursor moves down the third column as you expect it to. I expect it should work the same whether or not the previous column has truncated contents.
