Flextables objects do not land in the second column in column containers in powerpoint

[sjkiss]

Hi: I'm using RMarkdown to create a powerpoint presentation.

When I create a flextable object for inclusion in the second column of a two-column slide, the flextable only ever appears in the first column.

This code reproduces the problem.

Thank you.

hello

See https://davidgohel.github.io/flextable/reference/knit_print.flextable.html#chunk-options and the subchapter "PowerPoint only".
