Bug: incorrect display of tables after alignment [9.1.8 (9.1.8-elpa @ /Users/michelschinz/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20171228/)]

Bug: incorrect display of tables after alignment [9.1.8 (9.1.8-elpa @ /Users/michelschinz/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20171228/)]

[Michel Schinz]

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

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

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

The latest version(s) of Org have a weird display issue (at least on
macOS) when tables are aligned. To see it, launch Emacs with "-Q" and
then add the directory containing the latest Org to the load-path. Then,
open an empty Org file (e.g. /tmp/foo.org) and paste the following
partial table into it:

|xxx|zzz
|0

Then, with the cursor on the "0" (e.g.), hit C-c C-c to realign the
table. Visually, the result will look like this:

| xxx | zzz |
|   |     |

That is, the 0 will have disappeared, and the vertical lines will not be
aligned. Then save the file, kill the buffer, and reload the file. What
now appears is the correct table, i.e.

| xxx | zzz |
|   0 |     |

I am able to reproduce this bug both when Emacs is launched as graphical
application, and in the terminal when launched with "-nw".

There is no such thing as Org version 9.1.8. Latest stable release is
Org 9.1.5.

As I cannot reproduce it (I'm not on macOS) on maint (stable branch),
I suggest to update Org and try again. It may be related to a bug
recently fixed.

Ok, I will gladly do this, but I just want to point out that Org 9.1.8 is what one currently gets from Org's own ELPA. You can check it out by downloading the latest archive from https://orgmode.org/elpa/, namely:

https://orgmode.org/elpa/org-20171228.tar

The file org-version.el in that archive contains the following definition:

(defun org-release ()
  "The release version of Org.
Inserted by installing Org mode or when a release is made."
   (let ((org-release "9.1.8"))
     org-release))

Did I make a mistake, or is there a problem with Org ELPA?

Michel.

I think this is an issue with Org ELPA. I'm cc'ing Bastien. 

Thank you for letting us know.

I also have Org mode version 9.1.8 and the problem with broken
tables. Now it looks like this:

|--------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+---|
| Суб'єкт            | Завдання                                                                 |   |
|--------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+---|
| Головний бухгалтер | На початковому етапі формування облікової політики використовують досвід |   |
| та бухгалтерська   |                                                                          |   |

And I must say that a couple of updates ago it was working perfectly.

Very stange, this table was looking messy when I sent the message. But
here it looks Ok except the extra column that I had not created. There
are only two first columns that should be there. I can't understand
what's happening. And in my file the table remains messy.

This is probably related to commit
401890986cf7e4a08c76be4c291b45278c2ac89b. You need to update Org to get
it.

Yes it was, thanks for reporting it.

Things should be fine now.

PS: I'm on the road, with limited access to my emails, so please bare
with me if there is any delay in fixing this kinds of problems.

Indeed, they seem to be: after upgrading my version of Org from Org's ELPA, the problem I reported has disappeared, and M-x org-version reports that it's 9.1.5, as it should.

(Melleus, the same procedure should fix the problem for you too).

Thank you for the fix,
Michel.

Yes, after update I got version 9.1.5 and everything works perfectly
with tables now. Thank you, guys.
