--- Comment #2 from Jean-Baptiste Faure <jbfaure at libreoffice.org> ---
For me there is no bug here. When you click the Apply button you ask to apply
the page style, including the column width it defines. The columns have
probably been resized so that their widths no longer correspond to what is
defined by the page style.

I tested on a new document and the default width for a 2 columns page with 0
margins is not the column width of your page style.

That said if I try to change the column widths in the page style to match what
they should be, the values are lost when I reopen the page style dialog.

I think your problem comes from the use of border (right) instead of margin. In
the attached file, I modified the page style :
- right border : 0
- right margin : 2,3 cm
- size of the background image set to the page size
- columns 2 (left < right), size 7,6 cm , 11,69 cm
with these settings, I have a page style with stable column widths.

Note: I suggest you to ask on users at fr.libreoffice.org mailing list for help to
improve the layout of your document. For example, defining multiple columns
when you use only one, is not a good idea.

Best regards. JBF
