Description rhdinah 2008-02-12 03:35:44 UTC 
In a two-column section the first column fills with extra line break every time
document is opened. If the document is saved and reopened yet another line break
is inserted. This continues during a session where multiple edits are made and
saved and the first column winds up being immense and pushing text downward ...
an undesirable result.

The example submitted is the minimal set that demonstrates the problem. The
two-column table was generated by selecting desired text, choosing Format |
Columns and then choosing two columns. Normally there are several things in both
columns ... this submission shows only one entry per column for simplicity.
There is a manual column break that starts the second column.

Procedure to reproduce problem:

    1. Copy the document to preserve the original.
    2. Open the copy by double-clicking ... turn on View | Nonprinting
       Characters (CTRL-F10) ... note the two line breaks in column 1
       of the two-column section.
    3. Place the cursor after the B and press Delete ... this should make
       the two-column section just one line.
    4. Click Save
    5. Reopen the copy by double-clicking ... note the two line breaks in
       column 1 again.
    6. Fool the Writer into thinking that there is an edit by changing the A
       at the top to an A ... the Save button should be enabled ... click Save.
    7. Reopen the copy by double-clicking ... note that yet another line break
       is inserted. As you continue to edit and save your work, yet more line
       breaks are inserted until the whole first column is not what is desired
       and just pushes down text and becoming unsightly.

MRU->HBRINKM: open attached document in OOo and MS Word, see that there is one
paragraph more displayed in the OOo import.

This seems to only happen when there is a manual column break inserted ... for
the case where there isn't one this problem doesn't occur ... hope this helps.
