Please describe exactly what do you consider wrong, and *what would be the correct expectation*.
In the current form, your bug looks like "this is what I see; I dislike it" without specifics ;)

page 2 contains 3 columns without
overlapping: see attachment

Ah! So your problem is on the second page, and the purple circle on your attachment 181385 [details] is just a red herring.

FTR: the view on attachment 181388 [details] (from Google docs) is also wrong; MS Word 2016 gives three separate frames on the last page (two wide, one narrower).

And in Version: 7.4.0.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 43e5fcfbbadd18fccee5a6f42ddd533e40151bcf
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: default; VCL: win

the resulting view is as on my attachment here.

One more point to mention.

Your system misses Calibri font (used in the document). It likely can have Carlito, though; and the latter is metrically compatible with Calibri. If you install Carlito, the text layout is expected to match the original layout.

The frames used on the second page are positioned relative to the whole page; so regardless of the main text flow, the frames will stay on the same spot. That could explain why some text from the main text body overlaps the frames on your screenshot.

attachment 181385 [details] top left shows 
font as Calibri. i have installed 
ttf-mscorefonts-installer.

perhaps for some reason fonts are
not updated.

since issue is not repro 7.4, if 
possible please close this.

Exactly! And that piece allows to see that your system misses it. Because LibreOffice will show the font that is needed in this place anyway, but if it's missing, it will appear in italics.

I wouldn't close it; my system is Windows one, with the needed fonts installed. If you can, please install the mentioned Carlito font, to check that with it, the display is as needed.

Closing NOTABUG then.
