Document after second "Save as..."

After first column in page 1 there is a wrong section break. Because of that the original column 2 in page 1 is empty

Hello, druido77, thanks for reporting. I am not sure if I understand the steps quite clear.

> Helmut Leininger has found this bug. Here are the steps:
> 
> 1. Create empty document
> 2. Make page orientation album with 2 columns and margins 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 
> cm (up, down, left, right)
> 3. Create table 2*2 and move it to the bottom of the column using enters.
> 4. Copy first column with ctrl+c

How did you select the first column. i.e, something like put the cursor on the top the column, and Shift+click the end of the column?

> 5. Paste to the second column.
> 6. Save as doc (test.doc)
> 7. Open the file.
> 8. Mark first collumn on the page and copy it with Ctrl+C
> 9. Mark the second column on the page and press ctrl+v
> 10. Save document and close it (test2.doc)
> 11. Open it.

I tried to do these steps in 3.3 rc1 and the result is a bit different (no data missing here):

left column in the 1st page: has table
right column in the 1st page: empty
left column in the 2nd page: has table
right column in the 2nd page: has table

Please see my attachment test3.doc :)

And if I understand it correctly, the expected result should be:

left column in the 1st page: has table
right column in the 1st page: has table
left column in the 2nd page: has table
right column in the 2nd page: empty

Is that what you concerned?

I select the column with mouse movements and do copy/paste operation by pressing ctrl+c and ctrl+v. You can see a demo video at

I have followed all steps... I save and reopen ever the same file, but before and after the second "save as..." the document is different.

The expected result is a bit different but, also in your case, there is a section break in column 1 of page 1. Why? You have never inserted a page break in this document... but the page break exists

Thanks for clarification, confirmed with 3.3 rc1. The topic and C#4 is actually the same issue.

I can reproduce it too... Lubos, maybe one for you?

Is there any chance that this bug can be fixed?
Actualy there is the same issue, when drag and dropping portion of text from one collumn to another.

reproducible with LO 4.0.2.2 (Win7 Home, 64bit)
