It turned out that --vimgrep wasn't quite getting the column of each match correctly. Instead of printing column numbers relative to the current line, it was printing column numbers as byte offsets relative to where the match began. To fix this, we simply subtract the offset of the line number from the beginning of the match. If the beginning of the match came before the start of the current line, then there's really nothing sensible we can do other than to use a column number of 1, which we now document. Interestingly, existing tests were checking that the previous behavior was intended. My only defense is that I somehow tricked myself into thinking it was a byte offset instead of a column number. Kudos to @bfrg for calling this out in #1866: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/issues/1866#issuecomment-841635553
