Hi there,

This is my first bug report, so please bear with me if I'm doing
anything wrong.

I've updated org-mode yesterday, and the tables do not seem to align
properly anymore.

In a minimal setup, just loading org-mode from MELPA, I've tried
entering the following table:
| foo | 1 |
| bar | 10 |
When I press <TAB> in the table, visually, the table loses its alignment
(one space gets removed from at the right of the `1').

It gets worse with three lines. The following lines, for instance:
| foo | 1 |
| bar | 10 |
| test | 100 |
When I press <TAB>, the separator between the two columns disappears,
and the alignment gets screwed up as well.

There definitely seems to be something going on with the length of the
strings. I've tried setting the alignment with <r> and <l>, but it
doesn't resolve the problem.

(Since it's my first bug report, I also want to thank everyone, and hope
that I can join the community.)
