* Turning on column view marks buffer "modified"

If I turn on column view for the whole buffer by pressing "C-c C-x C-c" 
at the top of the buffer (blank area), the buffer would be marked 
"modified". But if I do it just on a subtree, everything is normal. Does 
anybody see the same thing? thanks.

I just found out things are even stranger:

I have a level 1 heading "* HR". Every time the column view is turned 
on, an extra space is added to the end of that heading, which is why the 
buffer is marked "modified". But it only happens on that "HR" heading. 
What is so special about the word "HR" (stands for "Human Resources" for 
me)????????

You can try this out by just pasting the following two lines into a 
temporary org file:

* HR
*** Holidays

More observations:

 It is not that the word "HR" is so special. Actually, as long as there 
is any level 1 heading with two capital letters only, like "AB" "CD" 
"HK" or whatever, this strange behavior happens. Does anyone has a clue 
about this? Thank you.

The reason ist that your headline is so short.  Column view internal
need on character in the headline for each column to display.
Therefore, it adds space characters if you have more columns than
characters.  Don't really know how to change this - I guess I could
avoid marking the buffer marked just because of this.

That will be nice if you can add that work-around. I am compelled to do 
an "undo" when I see a buffer is marked "modified" for no good reason 
because I am afraid of inserting characters accidentally since we all 
press those short-cut keys so fast. One thing I hate about Microsoft 
word is when you close a word file, even if you did not do anything to 
it, it often asks you whether you want to save your changes.

Thank you.
