Description
Mentioned in [this comment](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/improved-fsharp-hints-in-visual-studio/#comment-18369).
Indeed, it does:

I don't know if it's meant to be like this. There are three metrics there: Line, Character and Column. The Column metric is **hidden unless** it differs from the Character one.

It's [not really clear](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60053459/can-there-be-a-difference-between-column-number-and-character-number-in-visual-s) what are the designed scenarios for that.
Note, C# does the same.

So, I see a few explanations to what is going on:
1) It's by design
2) It's a bug in Roslyn
3) There is a setting for this which neither F# nor C# utilizes
Further investigation is needed.
