Could reproduce with OO.o 3.1.1 onwards (probably before)

For example if a user creates 2 columns with names that differ only in case:
T-Pain and T-PAIN

This is valid for HSQLdb, and Base data controls will appear to work these 
columns, but during an update to the table the data is shifted to erroneous 
columns, for columns following the second instance of case insensitive string. 

If the data types of the misaligned data write are compatible, no error is 
given 
to the user - with one exception. There is a hint in the GUI when this is about 
to happen, the record number in the navigation bar will become inaccurate 
(always changing to 1) when a new value is written to a controls attached to 
one 
of these 'special' columns.

NOTE - it appears that other strings can cause this also 'some:thing' and 
'some/thing' may trigger it.

To see this in action download the attached file, open the SOAP table in a 
dataview window - now near go to the end of the record, you will find the 
columns: Dx1, Dx2...Dx6 - write a value into these controls and update the 
table, you will see that the data moves to the right...on a forum with a lot of 
CHECKBOX controls this silent change can go on without catching the users 
attention.
