I have a document with several sections that have two columns. One section behaves weird and I don't know why.

Whenever I work in the document, e.g. refresh the TOC, the second column of the section's first page and the first column of the next page get blank, and the content continues in what shoul be the fourth column.

When I delete the section and recreate it, everything's ok. I refresh the TOC, the error appears again.

Document: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2G8wY61C0agY3lGYk5uT01BaGs/view?usp=sharing

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Delete section in page 80
2. Put text and tables in two columns
3. Refresh TOC
Actual Results:  
Every time the TOC is refreshed, additional empty columns are inserted.

Expected Results:  
No empty columns should be inserted

I created the file in Open Office, but that shouldn't cause the problem?

I could repro with the file.

I deleted all that was on page 80. Then I just inserted dummy text with dt + F3. Then I went and updated the ToC many times. I went back to look at pages after 80 and there were a lot of empty columns.

Everything is possible, so creating the file in AOO might cause the problem.

It would be great, if you found a way to reproduce the problem from scratch in a new file created in LibO.

Dear dereisenhofer,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
