Both issues not reproducible for me. Note that you should report 1 issue per report. Please test with latest master https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Win-x86_64@42/current/ Set to NEEDINFO. Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
The problems are tightly associated

Same problem in version 6.0.4.2 As for code related or not, I care about what I have [Created] on the screen what I don't have after saving it and reopening it. Just like I Turn the key in the car and expect the engine to start I don't care about the inner workings of the engine! The fact is that if you formatted a page with columns and save it off in RTF format and reopen it again it has thrown out or not saved all the Column formatting. From all the word processing apps I have used over the decades none of them ever had that problem! If I created 3column document in MS word and save it as RTF and reopen it in MS word it retains that formatting. If I created 3 column document in MS word save it off as RTF and reopen it in libre office writer I have the 3 columns formatting. If I created 3 column document in libre office writer and save it as RTF and open it in libre office writer, the evidence is clear liberty office writer did not retain the column formatting in RTF format!

Created attachment 142884 [details] 3 column document orig created in MS Word saved as RTF in LO writer No more columns but now three pages!
