No, they aren't aligned flush right, the above example looks exactly like the according part of an org file - I did not copy/paste it. > If they *are* flush right, then I think everything is as it should be, no?

Same here, the tags end or start at column 90, but it *looks* inconsistent. If I put the cursor behind `:holiday:' the column number is 90, and if I put it behind `:schreiben:' it's 90, too. If you look at the above example you wouldn't expect this. henry
