multi-column layout within table cell works incorrectly
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
If you apply multi-column layout to text inside a table cell only the first column is accessible. Also, inserting manual column breaks has no effect (see also issue #38296??). To reproduce in 1.9.130 Writer: - insert a table - enter text inside a cell - select the text - Layout - Columns... select more than one column and apply to Selection - the columns are visible inside the cell (grey lines), but there is no way to enter text in columns other than the first. I have also found no way to remove the multi-column layout on the cell. Setting the number of columns to one leaves a gray border indicating the column layout.
Other columns than the first will only be accessible when they are filled with content. MRU->FME: however, if inserting a multi-column section into a table cell, it is not possible to enter a column break in this section.
