I think I found a table format error.
I created a table and after formatting it looks like:
​|-----------+-----------+---------------|
|         1 | Text      |             2 |
|-----------+-----------+---------------|
| Some text | Some more | And even more |
|-----------+-----------+---------------|

Then I copy the last row:
|-----------+-----------+---------------|
|         1 | Text      |             2 |
|-----------+-----------+---------------|
| Some text | Some more | And even more |
| Some text | Some more | And even more |
|-----------+-----------+---------------|

But when I then format the table,
the last heading goes from right aligned to left aligned:
|-----------+-----------+---------------|
| 1         | Text      | 2             |
|-----------+-----------+---------------|
| Some text | Some more | And even more |
| Some text | Some more | And even more |
|-----------+-----------+---------------|

​What is happening here?

I​ am using: Org-mode version 8.2.10.

Org tries to guess what the alignment should be: columns with numbers
will be right-aligned; with text they will be left-aligned.  Maybe org
did a count and decided this was a text column after all once you added
the new row.

You can specify the actual alignment by using <r> in a separate row,
e.g.:

|-----------+-----------+---------------|
| 1         | Text      |             2 |
|           |           |           <r> |
|-----------+-----------+---------------|
| Some text | Some more | And even more |
| Some text | Some more | And even more |
|-----------+-----------+---------------|

HTH,
