Sample file with two columns

This is very similar to bug 73483, just regrading column breaks instead of page breaks.  I figure I'll just report as a separate bug, and it's always easy to just mark this as DUPLICATE if necessary.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open attached text document;
2. Select all and clear direct formatting (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+M)
3. See that nothing apparently changes about the layout;
4. Save, close and reopen the file, see that the contents are all in the left column now.

Expected result:
Either the deletion of column break is shown immediately, or nothing changes after saving and reopening.
