Don't underestimate the diverse language[1] barriers here. Whatever it is
natural for you to call "column" others won't call by that name.
Emacs poses a special burden here by having its very own terminology in
many places.
I concur with you that a bug submitter should *try* finding possible
duplicates, but we should expect him/her to fail pretty often.

[1] "language" meaning native tongue and "local computerese"
