wrong cursor position after the j and k cursor movement commands

[scebotari66]

Sometimes, when moving the cursor up and down using the j and k commands, the cursor doesn't end up in the correct position.

Here is a test case that I've manged to come up with:

You can see that when I'm on the "i" character (Line 1, Column 24), and the hit j, the cursor does not go to the "C" character (Line 2, Column 24), but instead, it goes to the "o" (Line 2, Column 25). A similar behavior occurs when the cursor is on the "e" character (Line 1, Column 26).

Here is the test case file:

Definitely a bug, but this will only happen if you use tabs for indentation.

That's what I do. Well, we all have sins 😊

ST must know how to do this already and I'm reverse engineering the details. I've requested APIs to solve this. In the meantime I'll try to improve the current situation.
