When "Align fields in columns" (on the "Indentation" tab) is checked, the formatter calculates the wrong x-column to place the comments at.

The setting of using spaces or tabs is irrelevant. In both cases, the columns calculated is one place too far to the left. With spaces this causes all but the longest in the block to be off by 1. With tabs this causes about 25% of the lines to have one tab too few (with tab size 4). For example:

public short           format;               // u2
public short           langTagCount;         // u2
public LangTagRecord[] langTagRecords = null; // t4*langTagCount
public short           count;                // u2
public short           stringOffset;         // u2
public NameRecord[]    nameRecords;          // t12*count

I haven't found a workaround, and the option "Preserve white space between code and line comments" doesn't work (see the next bug I'm posting)

Reproducible: Always
