Columns only appeared in MS Office in OOXML format; it is not available in legacy binary formats. It is expected that any features are lost when they are unsupported in saved format. Saving the bugdoc to PPT from PowerPoint 2016, though, creates a document with columns in the shape. The export is accompanied with a warning that the text will be uneditable. Fun fact is that it is editable in the same PowerPoint. But opening the PPT in LO shows it as a raster image. Possibly PowerPoint saves some OOXML data in the legacy PPT format; that is unsupported so far, and that would be a different issue (AFAIK it's also undocumented). Created attachment 179015 [details]
The bugdoc saved from PowerPoint 2016
Just a note that I forgot: the columns were saved previously just because they were imported not as columns, but as a table, which was possible to save. The conversion happened on import.
It could be possible to try to do something similar on export in PPT filter. But I suppose it's not useful, since our normal handling of unsupported features is simply drop them (even in older versions of our native file format).
