Answer:
They are for when you are viewing the module in Graphical view. One shows (white) which object attribute will be visible in graphical view, the other shows (orange) which attribute is set as the datatip.

They can be set independently, simply right click the column heading and click either "Use in Graphical View" or "Use as datatip".

Not that important after all ...

When opening a formal module, most of the time, the main column has two boxes, a white and a dark orange box, on the right side, stacked vertically.

What does this signify?

I've tried searching for this in the DOORS manual and have found nothing.

If you delete a column with these boxes, they shift to the next column. I can't figure out what they mean.

Someone asked me and I couldn't answer them. My answer was, "If I don't know, it mustn't be important."

Can anyone prove me right or wrong?

One of them means that the text from that column will be used as the text in the graphical view. I forgot about the other though.
