Description

Right alignment of the last column only works when there is a trailing tab on the line. Otherwise the last column is left-aligned which looks strange. If this is a known restriction and not a bug it could possibly be documented.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the column alignment logic to ensure the last column is right aligned even without a trailing tab. Review how the writer handles column boundaries.
