Imagine the cursor is over the last a in the first line and then I move the cursor down. It will then be on the last b in the second line. If I move the cursor back up to the 1st line, it should remember that I was at the last a and jump back to it (this is how it would work in vim). Instead it goes to the 3rd a.
Essentially, every time the cursor moves left or right, the column # gets saved. If the cursor moves down or up to a line that has less columns than that saved column number, it simply goes to the last column available, but the cache still remains at the larger number. That way, if the cursor moves back up to a line that has columns >= cached_column, it will jump back to the cache column.
Sorry if this is confusing. Just try the example I posted in both vim and atom to see what I am talking about.
For example, take the following text
