@Heiko, anyone from the UX team who might be interested in this issue ?

Another interesting UI topic

I looked at the code that does this and IMHO this is NAB. The 5 presets to the right of the columns spin box are used to simply fill the widths and spacing and columns values to the values of the presets. No record of if a preset was used to set these values is stored. To see this, select one of the presets and press OK then reopen the Columns dialog. The preset used to set the values is not selected on reopen. The values set by the preset are present.

> ...select one of the presets and press OK then reopen the Columns dialog.

Or just change the value in the spinner. And this is exactly what we have to do, the preset toggle buttons should reflect the spinner value.

Checked again with 7.0.5 and clicking one of the presets does change the number in the spin edit. The other way around is NAB, as Jim pointed out.
