Thanks, but please show a full recipe for reproducing this, starting
from "emacs -Q".  The original setup talks about an Org file(is that
part necessary?) and some added text properties with absolute buffer
positions, so I'd rather not guess how to repeat that.  Please also
describe in more detail what you mean by "does not stick to the goal
column" -- which commands did you type that didn't honor the goal
column?
