A two-column document with the columns in the wrong order

This is consistently reproduceable on my Windows 10 machine. I create a normal document in Writer. I convert it from portrait to landscape. I divide it into two columns. The first material appears in the *right* column flowing to the *left* column. An example is attached.

All English, no other language installed.

There is no division to columns in the document.

There is a bad selection in 'Text direction' just under Page-Orientation for page style, change it to Left-to-Right and it works fine.

@Buoviaga, change the orientation to Landscape and add a column to see the what happens.

Resolved as not a bug, please if you are not agree reopen it.

I'm sorry, I must be looking in the wrong place. I've attached a screen capture showing my page style dialog, and I don't see a text direction option under the page orientation.

Please try resetting the user profile, sometimes solves strange issues.

Usually it's enough renaming/deleting the file "user/registrymodifications.xcu",  it affects all the options in Menu/Tools/Options, and the files "user/basic/dialog.xlc" and "scrip.xlc" are overwritten, additionally custom colors in "user/config/standard.soc" are lost.
