Bug: Tables not aligning properly [9.1.9 (release_9.1.9-65-g5e4542 @ /Applications/MacPorts/EmacsMac.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/)]

[Joao Pedro Pedroso]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

     https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since some versions ago, org-mode stopped aligning tables properly.
This has been commented in StackExchange:

This bug seems to be related to the presence
of TAB characters in the table.

Thanks,

J.P.Pedroso

Could you try master branch (yet to be release Org 9.2), as it may have
been fixed already.

If it isn't fixed, could you provide an ECM?

Thank you.

The SE post says that whatever was broken was fixed in 9.1.6, but you still see it
in 9.1.9?

FWIW, I cannot reproduce it in Org mode version 9.1.13 (release_9.1.13-880-g120f87)

<PSA>
ECM = exemple complet minimal = minimal complete example (aka MWE = minimal working example).
