However, I found that another bug blamed the same commit: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53525#c2
(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #8) > The only thing dealing with Writer columns is > https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/plugins/gitiles/core/+/ > de1c42d9f552bc57b28d50f4313bc982c63b84d4%5E%21/ That commit was reverted in 4.0 by author Michael Meeks on 2012-12-17 21:24:39 with commit 70ba2b40541adcea848ad40b19674d62e9cbbc37 fdo#53525 - Revert "writer:crash(i118878) when adding columns and chang. properties in a frame" This reverts commit de1c42d9f552bc57b28d50f4313bc982c63b84d4. The original document is auto-width columns. The round-trip is not longer autowidth. However, if you set it to autowidth, then the subsequent round-trips will remain autowidth. (All of this is also true for DOC and RTF - it is an export issue.)
