[Issue 126697] New: When setting the number of columns of a page to a values less than one, Writer change it to one and combine all columns content.

https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126697

          Issue ID: 126697
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: When setting the number of columns of a page to a
                    values less than one, Writer change it to one and
                    combine all columns content.
           Product: Writer
           Version: 4.1.2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 (lowest)
         Component: editing
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: halsubhi2013@my.fit.edu

Configuration Information: 
Windows 8 64-bit 
OpenOffice Writer 4.1.2
AOO412m3(Build:9782)  -  Rev. 1709696
2015-10-21 09:53:29 (Mi, 21 Okt 2015)

Replication Steps: 

1- Open a new document.
Note:- You can use an exciting document to replicate the bug, I said open a new
document to make the steps clearer.

2- Choose "Format" -> "Columns"
Note: You can use other ways to replaceable the bug, for example, Choose
"Format" ->  "Page" - > "Columns" tab. I chose "Format" -> "Columns" because it
is simpler.

3- Change the number of columns. For example, change it to three columns, then
click "OK"
Note: You can change the number of columns to any valid value, values between 2
and 99 ,the bug will still be replaceable.

4- Add content to all columns. 
Note: You have to add content to at least two columns to see the failure. 

5- Choose "Format" -> "Columns"

6- Change the the number of columns to any value less than 1, then click "OK"


Description of the failure: 
Writer change the value of the number of columns to one, which means combing
all the content of the columns into one column. 

This should not happen, Writer should either make no changes, or reject the
value and shows an error message like what MS Word does, see attachment.
