Description Harald Koester 2017-12-18 19:02:42 UTC
In order to reproduce the bug:

[1] Open new text file.
[2] Display formatting marks if not displayed already with menu: View > Formatting Marks
[3] Format page with 2 columns with menu: Format > Page… > Columns
[4] Cursor should be now in left column. Insert manual column break: Menu: Insert > Manual Break… > Select “Column break”. A blue line is displayed at the top of the left column. Expected: Also the term “Manual Column Break” should be displayed above the blue line.
[5] Scroll down until the top of the columns are no longer visible and then scroll back. Now the term is displayed. 
[6] Cursor should be now at the beginning of the left column. Delete manual break with Backspace. The term “Manual Column Break” is still displayed. Expected: No display.
[7] Again scroll down and back. Now the term is no longer displayed.

Reproducible with

One thing was different:

Column break is displayed on top of right column, but that might be the expected result. If not, we should open a new bug report for this.
