Description

Describe the bug using "go to definition" doesn't seem to update the column - it keeps the previous column.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Click on a function call
  2. Right-click
  3. "go to definition"
  4. Notice the column LOOKS correct
  5. Move cursor using hjkl
  6. Notice the cursor column jumps to where you were before the "go-to-definition", but on the correct line.

Expected behavior The column is in-sync just like the row
