Hi Taco,

There two documents /context-minimal/tex/texmf-context/doc/context/documents/general/manuals/notnow.pdf and /context-minimal/tex/texmf-context/doc/context/documents/general/manuals/pagecolumns.pdf written by Hans in which he says that long footnotes and columns cannot be treated correctly yet

Which is a tad annoying, as my example worked in both mkii and mkiv just fine before the switch to the new mixed column system. It worked ok for decades, in fact. The weird bit here is that the new mixed columns do actually reserve the correct amount of vertical space for the footnote, they just seem to ‘forget’ to break the footnote into lines in the end. Best wishes, Taco
