[NTG-context] Problem in natural tables with nc= and alignmentcharacter

23 Jun 2014

      When a wide-ish column precedes a character-aligned column and a column 
span is in place, the table is set improperly.

With the following example, the first two columns overlap.

When the first column is moved to the right side of the table there is 
no issue.

When the setup line is removed, there is no issue.

When the long entry in column is shortened, there is no issue.

When the column span is removed and another cell added to that row, 
there is no issue.

The problem occurs when the span is applied to the first two or the last 
two columns in the example.

TL14 handles this correctly. It fails with the 20140622 beta.
