Hi. To reproduce this bug: 1) launch LO writer, 2) go to "format" | columns | & set columns at 2 3) click "Ok" 4) you will see typing pointer within column facing your right hand, though language UI & locale are set to English. If you type then column on your right side will full 1st before you can type within column on your left side. 5) save & exit, 6) now re-open document, 7) go again to "format" | columns | & change "Text direction" from "Superordinate settings" into "Left to right", 8) save & exit. 9) re-open document & you will see contents reverted: what were within column on your right side will be within column on your left side ! 10) go again to "format" | columns | & you will see "Text direction" re-set on "Superordinate settings" !

I can't confirm the bug, because I don't have text direction option in columns dialog in Version: 7.1.0.3 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: f6099ecf3d29644b5008cc8f48f42f4a40986e4c CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL So could you please retest with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
