Created attachment 146912 [details] The original RTF file If an RTF document has 2 columns, but the first column contains only a table, this setting is lost and displayed as a 1 column document in LibreOffice Writer. Adding just one line of text to the first page fixes the issue. Saving the original (table only in the first column) RTF as DOCX in LibreOffice Writer also fixes the issue. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new document in LibreOffice Writer 2. Click on Format > Page, click on the Columns tab and select two columns 3. Insert a table in the first column 4. Insert a column break after the table by clicking on Insert > More breaks > Manual break and selecting the Column break option 5. Add some random text to the second column 6. Save the document as RTF LibreOffice details: Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 2cef68a605494bcef0388201b1058c95788c45a8 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU); Calc: threaded
