Not reproducible with LibreOffice 4.4.2.0.0+ built at home under Ubuntu 14.10 x86-64. Column formatting is saved and preserved when file is reopened. Closing as WorksForMe. Please, feel free to reopen if you disagree. Best regards. JBF
Jean-Baptiste Faure, thanks for testing to this. However, if one followed the Description https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45386#c0 without questioning the results, then they would not have noticed that it is written mistakenly. It should have mirrored the downstream Description I made to clearly explain the problem: What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal: cd ~/Desktop && wget -c https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/915080/+attachment/2685315/+files/Blocco%20schizzi%20botanico.doc -O example.doc && lowriter -nologo example.doc Click Format -> Sections... -> highlight Section1 -> click button Remove -> highlight Section3 -> click button Remove -> button OK -> Format -> Columns... -> change combobox Columns to 2 -> button OK -> Save, close, reopen and the column formatting remains as in the screenshot https://launchpadlibrarian.net/91366200/Schermata-L%27arte%20del%20disegno%20botanico.doc2%20-%20LibreOffice%20Writer.png . What happens instead is the column formatting changes back to the way it was before making the above changes. A screenshot of this https://launchpadlibrarian.net/91366199/Schermata-L%27arte%20del%20disegno%20botanico.doc1%20-%20LibreOffice%20Writer.png . Reproducible in Utopic's LibreOffice Writer.
(In reply to Christopher M. Penalver from comment #5) > [...] > Reproducible in Utopic's LibreOffice Writer. Which version it is ? JBF
Jean-Baptiste Faure, thank you for the quick follow up. It's not upstream/a PPA but the one that comes by default in Utopic (4.3.3-0ubuntu1). However, this is also reproducible in: Windows 8.1 x64 LibreOffice 4.4.1.2

reproduced in LO6.0dev. Likely the exporter has special code around exporting a table of contents that creates sections in order to do that.

repro 7.2+. Also true for DOCX. A TableOfContents is a semi-section in Writer, so probably that is throwing things off during export.
