The notion of section seems really foreign to me when I'm actively looking for something to set columns on a portion of the page (and unfortunately the "Page columns" button in the "Layout" tab doesn't do that, it ignores sections and affects the whole page no matter what the selection is) and the button that only apparently contains columns is not labelled columns. It would at least make more sense to me if that dropdown had things other than just columns, otherwise it seems like columns is what it's all about. Yeah, you can argue that "a column is a section" in theory but that just seems like playing with semantics and obscuring what the user would be looking for, particularly when other office suites typically call that "Columns" outright. I checked now to be sure I was not misremembering what I saw out there years ago, and Google Docs and MS Word's workflow still is: you select the range of contents you want to transform into columns, and then click the "Columns" dropdown menubutton in the "Layout" (or "Format" or "Page layout") tab/menu/etc., and then pick the number of columns in a similar way to this "Section" dropdown menubutton here. In those commonly encountered UIs, they make Columns a first class UI element to look for. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
