Bug: Editing <column-width> cookie in table column breaks tabbing [9.1.9 (9.1.9-3-gb1a639-elpa @ /home/foo/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20180402/)]

[Sebastian P. Luque]

Hello,

When `org-startup-align-all-tables' is t, then editing the <N> cookie in
a table causes subsequent tabbing inside the table to throw the
following trace:

---<--------------------cut here---------------start------------------->---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range #("abcde" 0 1 (help-echo "Clipped table field, use `\\[org-table-edit-field]' to edit.  Full value is:

Could you provide an ECM? I couldn't reproduce the issue.

Thank you.

Biensur:

╭───── [ emacs_init.el ]
│ (package-initialize)
│ (toggle-debug-on-error)
│ (setq org-startup-align-all-tables t)
╰─────

First line is to ensure the Elpa Org package is available.

╭───── [ bug.org ]
│ * Column width alignment
│ 
│ |   A |    B | C     |
│ |     |      | <5>   |
│ | 123 | 1234 | 56789 |
╰─────

and then do:

emacs -q -l emacs_init.el bug.org

Now edit the column width cookie a few times, hitting TAB after each
edit.  I haven't yet found what sequence of edits that triggers the
error in this example, as it seems inconsistent.  I tried switching
between different permutations of 2, 3, 4, 5, and eventually the
debugger is entered.  During normal use cases, I get into the error
right away.

I still cannot reproduce it. Could you update Org (e.g., from GNU ELPA)
and try again?
