Back-Tab (as performed by Shift-Tab) from:
1. Middle of data line moves cursor to column 1 of data line. Good.
2. Middle of line command area moves cursor to first position in line command area. Good.
3. First position in line command area moves cursor to column 1 of previous data line. Good.
4. Column 1 of data line does NOT move cursor. Bad.
Should expect cursor to move to first position of line command area on same line, yes?

(Same for v8.0.4155 and v8.0.4157.)

Thanks!

Grog:
Yes, Backtab was severely broken. Turned out it was a mechanical error as I was doing the internal optimization stuff. There was just sooooo much repetitive, mechanical conversions that I'm sure at times I was doing it more as an automaton than logically. I'd ended up here swapping variable names for row and col around. Makes for interesting reading of the code - "Why is it comparing the line number to the next tab column? Hmmm"

Corrected in the next release.
