If I create a capture template that creates a headline such as:

"* %? :note:\n", then upon capturing the note tag is correctly shifted over to org-tags-column.

However, if I position the %? cursor to be:

%?:note:

:note:%?

or anywhere in between, the tags are not written to the correct column, instead with 1 space after the headline. I just wanted to manually define some extra tags, instead of using %^g/%^G, but this messes up the column placement.
