Hello,

This minor bug had been bothering me for a while and I eventually got to
looking into the source code for it.

As of current master, C-u C-c C-q doesn't work as in the doc-string i.e.
"When optional argument ALL is non-nil, align all tags in the visible part
of the buffer.".

Here's an example Org buffer:

=====
* Foo :abc:
** Bar :def:
=====

- With point on Foo heading, C-u C-c C-q aligns only :def: tag (tags from
*next* heading onwards).
- So when point is on Bar, no tags get aligned.

Though I remember that C-u C-c C-q worked quite some time back.

A commit in Apr 28, 2018 broke that behavior in
https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/commit/1615261cdc5da6dbe50176d7958c775d6d54411e#diff-f9a90d66b3053f60bd4e8d63f214273067d0d28L14288
.

While I don't understand that entire commit, this simple fix brings back
the true C-u C-c C-q behavior:

           (while (re-search-forward org-tag-line-re nil t)
-          (org--align-tags-here (funcall get-indent-column)))

       (org-back-to-heading t)
       (org--align-tags-here (funcall get-indent-column)))))))


If this looks good, I can commit this to maint and master.

Thanks.
