Comment on The tab count. It only happens with 9.

The non-monospace font control code is set to recenter the double-digit readout starting at 9 because it’s a computer thing to start all counts at 0 instead of 1 and I know just enough about “off by one” errors to 100% assume this with no actual experience.
But, for science, does 20 center itself differently than 10 and, if so, does 19 actually match 20?

I can also imagine this happens when you get to ten, then the algorithm sees the increment over nine, modifies the offset, and when at ten you delete one tab, but the algorithm doesn’t expect you to downgrade from double digits and keeps the offset designed for double digits.
