Description Jiri Prox 2016-03-23 12:10:04 UTC 
The column position is not preserved when moved over shorter/empty lines as it was in 8.1

Steps to reproduce:
1) open some file
2) put cursor the the n-th column
3) press down arrow to move cursor over the line with less then n characters

-> expected:
the cursor is moved to n-th column if the line is long enough

-> actual:
the cursor stays at m-th column (m is length of the short line)
