Subject: 14.0.2; table alignment by align-current gives wrong result

From: Uwe Siart <[email-masked]>

When I do 'M-x align-current' on

,----
| Mat.-Nr. & Nachname & Vorname & Unterschrift \\
| Mat. No. & Surname  & Name    & Signature    \\
`----

(which would be the expected result, so align-current should do nothing
here) I get

,----
| Mat.-Nr. & Nachname & Vorname & Unterschrift \\
| Mat.     No.        & Surname & Name         & Signature \\
`----

instead. It seems like align-current gets confused by whitespace inside
cell content.
