Status in Mahara ePortfolio: Fix Committed

Bug description:
We have a Mahara 1.2.5 on a Linux server with MySQL Database. 

During a Mahara Tutorial 25 people where editing a group view in parallel using 
the buttons add and remove columns. 
After a while, displaying the view ended in a system error. A look in the 
database revealed that the view had 7 as the number of columns and (null) as 
its layout.  Default layouts are only available up to 5 columns. 
The function  get_layout() in lib/view.php could therefore not determine a 
layout anymore. 
I believe this is a Mahara bug. There should be some transactional mechanism 
between the JavaScript and the PHP script that prevents users from creating 
more than 5 columns in a view. 

I just hacked the get_layout function to simply set the number of columns to 5 
in case it's bigger than 5, but this is not a permanent solution. 

Thanks in advance 
   Juergen Zimmer
