David,
That should not happen obviously :(
Can you file a bug report and attach the gcm file that is associated
with your data file ?
You will find gcm files for all your books in the .gnucash directory.
There is a subdirectory called books in which you will find gcm files.
These files are named like your book.
So if you have a book called "David.gnucash" the associated gcm file
will be called "David.gnucash.gcm".
If you have multiple books called "David.gnucash" a sequence number will
be added like "David.gnucash_2.scm".
As a way to fix your problem: I expect you can restore to a default
column layout by deleting the entries under the section [Account
Hierarchy]
But do so after you have attached the file to bugzilla please.
Thanks,
Geert
