What I found is that in order for % and px column widths to work you need to have a blank column at the end.

      ie. Need to use this

      {section}
      {column:width=100px}A{column}
      {column:width=100px}B{column}
      {column}{column}
      {section}
      

      instead of this

      {section}
      {column:width=100px}A{column}
      {column:width=100px}B{column}
      {section}

            We are using confluence 5.8.9, still facing issue with column macro. When I set Column width property either to px or % ,it does not work as expected without adding an extra empty line below it. I have attached screenshots please look into it and provide a fix for this.

            I cannot reproduce this in Confluence 5.8, closing as obsolete.

            As an FYI, there are also Page Layouts now in Confluence (as of 4.2), which may give you more flexibility in laying out a page.

            Also seeing this on 5.1.3, but the third column workaround is NOT working for me. Maybe it also depends on the space theme? My space is currently using the Documentation Theme which includes the page tree on the left. If I grab the separator and shrink the page tree column down, it gives space back to my first column.

            Confluence 5.1.3 (download) still HAS this problem
            but the workaround of adding a 3rd column still DOES work!

            Tested in IE9 and Firefox 22.0.

            The workaround for this does not work in 3.4.9 with the following markup:
