Expected result has one window with one line of text in two columns.

Which part of the 2C mode documentation led you to expect to see just
one window after "F2 1"?


The documentation says the following.

```

     When you have edited both buffers as you wish, merge them with ‘<F2>
  1’ or ‘C-x 6 1’ (‘2C-merge’).  This copies the text from the right-hand
  buffer as a second column in the other buffer.  To go back to two-column
  editing, use ‘<F2> s’.

```

Documentation  and  actual behavior  drift  apart  is a  common  place
expectation in  software.  My familiarity  with C-x 1 carried  over to
C-x 6 1.
