two column mode ?

[Jean-Christophe Helary]

I'm not sure I understand the purpose of the two column mode triggered by C-x 6 
2. What is the difference with C-x 5 2 ?

What it does is create a buffer on the right of the buffer I'm currently using, 
but not by splitting the window, so that I'm not seeing the original buffer. 
How can I "conveniently edit two side-by-side columns of text." ?

Am I missing something ? Is it because I'm using the tab new feature that this 
one is not working ?
