Hello,
I have a section with 2 equal-length columns. I type text in the
columns, and this text is equally spread over both columns. So far so
good. Then I make a footnote. Now, the word with the (1) passes to the
next page, leaving the second column empty. The text of the note is
too long to fit at the bottom of the first column, but I would expect
that the note text would be split over both columns (continue from the
first into the second, as happens with the text in the columns - or
with a footnote in a text without columns).
Is this a bug, or is there a solution?

Perhaps it is a bug, perhaps not.
I do have a suggestion. It appears you have formatted the section
so that the text is equally spread over both columns. Then you added a
footnote. Perhaps you have the wrong order for these operations. From my
testing of this, it appears that the footnote is a part of the section.
This is what I tried. I created a section and formatted it.
(Format > Sections > Options) "Evenly distribute content to all columns"
was not checked (not ticked). I copied a little less than 2 pages of
text into the section. Then I added a footnote in the first column of
the first page. Finally, I formatted the section by checking (ticking)
"Evenly distribute content to all columns". The footnote was still at
the bottom of column 1 of page 1. Even though I then added 8 more lines
to the footnote, the footnote remained where it was. At this point, the
footnote was 20 lines long!
Again, it may be a bug, but the solution may be to leave "Evenly
distribute content to all columns" unchecked (not ticked) until after
you have all of the text AND footnote in the section. Then check (tick)
this selection.
