Table columns not aligning when width <n> set

Table columns not aligning when width <n> set

[William Denton]

I noticed this last week, but I'm on vacation.  I'm compiling and running Org 
and Emacs from source, and have been keeping up to date, but the problem's been 
there for a while.  For Org, I'm on the master branch, not tables, and running 
"make update" to update.

In the example below, the <40> and <10> widths are not respected.  If you hit 
C-c C-C on the STARTUP line, first one things goes wrong and then another, and 
you can toggle back and forth.

I was able to use git bisect (on master) to narrow down where the problem 
started (for me, at least):

     Fix `org-string-width'

     * lisp/org.el (org-string-width): Better handle various invisible
       characters.

I'm not sure what's going on ... is anyone else seeing this problem with tables?

Thanks for doing the bisect. I am also seeing the same problem you stated.

Here's what the table in your example looks like after I hit tab in the
first cell.. it should have got aligned.
