Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed.  This is a regression from version 4.2.1 where this worked.  I've
changed the Operating System to Any since this also affects Linux and
presumably Mac as well.

A more repeatable example that does not rely on random numbers is


x = pi (3,3);
x(2,2) = 1.5;
format short g
x
x =

  3.1416  3.1416  3.1416
  3.1416  1.5  3.1416
  3.1416  3.1416  3.1416


The only format that is affected is the 'g' format (short or long) because
this format does not print unecessary digits.

The same example run on version 4.2.1 produced


x =

      3.1416      3.1416      3.1416
      3.1416         1.5      3.1416
      3.1416      3.1416      3.1416


The decimal point is not aligned, but at least the columns are.
