add-column: restores removed Add Columns...

Don't know if that is expected or not?


if you have a window where you have add columns, Add Columns... added (say Length & SHA-1)
& then you do a search with
add-column:a

- so now you have both Add Columns columns (Length & SHA-1) & add-column: (A, in this case) columns

if you then remove (uncheck the column in the right-click context-menu) any Add Columns (say Length & SHA-1),
if you then, keeping the same add-column: search, but change the search slightly,
so if it went from,
add-column:a
->
add-column:a audio:

that then causes the removed Add Columns columns (Length & SHA-1) to reappear
- even though you had removed them

Using add-column:, columns: or remove-columns: puts Everything in temporary column mode.

A snap shot of your columns is created when entering temporary column mode.
When the search is cleared the column snapshot is restored.

add-column:, columns: or remove-columns: is applied to this snapshot.
Changing your search will restore manually removed columns.

I have on my TODO list to improve temporary column mode.
Ideally, manually removing a column should update the snapshot.
