Unexpected page break when using column-section and footnote

I have a Word-Document with full-with text, two columns and a footnote. In MS Word everything is on one page, but when I create a PDF using Aspose.Words 24.5.0.0, an unexpected page break is added after the column-section. Can this page break be prevented? Is this a bug in Aspose.Words?

I used a workaround by changing the columns-layout to a table with invisible borders.
