Press > `g' and proper re-alignemnt will happen. That's a side effect of recent changes in coreutils. Columns in the output of ls are now expanded only to the extend needed to keep the whole output aligned, so when listing only one file the whitespace between columns will be minimal. This is not good. Should I ask the coreutils developer to change this? Should Emacs try to align the indentation as it comes in?
