unbalanced text in the 2 columns sections

The attacched doc includes a 2 columns section with the "uniformous distribution of content between columns" flag checked.

When I open it, the text isn't uniformously distributed between the 2 columns, the left column extends more than the right one.

I can get the columns correctly distribued this way:
- place the cursor at the beginning of the line following the two columns section (at the beginning of the all-1 word)
- backspace
- undo (ctl-z) => the columns are now balanced


Now save the doc:
- space - backspace (in order to be able to save: if you don't do this you aren't allowed to save because you haven't modified anything)
- save (ctl-s)
- close the doc
- reopen it -> the columns are unbalanced again!!!

This bug was already present in openoffice, it's a long time bug.

It's quite annoying!

not reproducible with LO 4.0.2.2 (Win7 Home, 64bit)

Does this issue still persist for you with the latest release of LO?
Comment 2 Paolo Benvenuto 2013-05-06 21:34:12 UTC
4.0.2.2 (Build ID: 400m0(Build:2))

@Paolo: Thank you very much for your very fast reply!

so it is maybe a Linux issue only -> changed the platform to Linux as long as nobody else confirms this with Windows
Comment 7 Paolo Benvenuto 2013-10-24 11:07:57 UTC
still present in 4.1.2.3 linux
Comment 8 Paolo Benvenuto 2013-10-25 07:14:06 UTC
Any idea what could this bug depend on or what file could be located in?
