PC 4.3 B2 Multi-column bug

I'm reading a section of the ESVSB (article on the OT prophets, starting on page 1229) and I have columns set to Auto. It gives me three columns so I read away with no trouble. But when I advance to where I'm seeing content from pages 1231 and 1232, it shows no columns. I can't make it show columns at that point. The setting still shows Auto, but no go. I can back up a page and switch to three columns and it works fine. Go back to this point, no columns. There is no special content on that page - charts, etc (though one does come up on the next page) so I'm not sure what would keep it from showing multiple columns.

    Hi Chris

    I have checked this on my copy of the ESVSB and it works fine on these pages.

    Wonder if there is something wrong with your copy of the resource?

    Maybe worth posting logs after you have experienced this to see if anyone can diagnose what is happening.

    I'm seeing this on my system, too. It is due to the wide table on Page 1232.  If it is set to 3 Columns, rather than Auto, it will return to 3 columns after you scroll back a couple of articles (edit: or forward a couple of articles). I'm not sure if the Auto setting is working differently by design, but I will submit a possible bug report.

    Edit:  I should have added that the reason you'll see it change before Page 1232 is because it goes by Article, not page number.

    Good to know--although this is confusing in practice.  Can't they format each page individually?

    Good question Todd. I had an identical experience with that same resource in Matthew 16. It caused me some confusion until I scrolled down and found the large "text" block.

    Thanks for high-lighting this. Makes me feel better.
