Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
here, i pressed alt+shift+down. in most cases, the multiple cursors are created in the same column; however, i suspect when there are two tabs in one row (ex. tab [color name] tab ansiColor()) micro gets a bit confused

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in micro using Alt+Shift+Down with two tabs in one row, following the steps and environment described in the report. Then trace the code handling multiple cursors and tab alignment; done means cursors remain in the same column when tabbed content is present, with a regression test covering the reproduction.
