#28 \recalctypearea looses text when used in twocolum mode

[U_Fischer]

The following document creates three pages and misses the last column (ending with ZZZ). Using \clearpage before \recalctypearea gives the expected result of four pages. Extending the text so that the last page has already started the second column works too.

\documentclass[DIV=14]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\twocolumn
\lipsum[1][1-4]\lipsum\lipsum[1-3]\lipsum* ZZZZ 

%\clearpage

\recalctypearea
xxx
\end{document}

Ooooh. Yes, the ugly problem, that \newpage with LaTeX's build in two-column mode does not result in a new page but only in a new column.

I could replace the \newpage in \typearea by a \clearpage. But this would be less compatible. So maybe I should use either:

\if@twocolumn \clearpage \else \newpage \fi

or (currently used in [r3888]):

\newpage
\if@twocolumn\ifnum\@colnum=\z@\else\null\newpage\fi\fi

Thank you for the report.

Fixed in [r3888].
