In the Tabbed users interface Layout tab the Page Columns control is active when the document is in read-only mode. Seems to me it should be disabled.
I confirm it with Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 962b415edb47187737a5f05c4ff3f6724a19c564 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: threaded and I agree, that it shouldn't be active => NEW

Tested with Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: e25e27c85ed970cdb97c468bdac86c80964f4231 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded Page column control is no longer active. Thank you, Justin!. But it is still possible to open the submenu. Would be better and in line with other menus, if you can't open it. What do you tink, Justin?
(In reply to Dieter from comment #7) > Page column control is no longer active. > But it is still possible to open the submenu. I can't reproduce. The little drop-down arrow beside "Page Columns" in the notebookbar layout tab is disabled the same as Page Size etc. My testing routine: -open a writer document and go to layout tab. Notice everything is active. -Edit menu - turn off edit mode (or review tab - Edit mode) -back to layout tab - notice everything is disabled, including Page Column v.
I confirm, it is fixed in latest master Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 34d32740d89876c3d4fd2743a07d6e2578601683 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded Thank you for fixing it, Justin!
