Hello all:

I have a 5 pages tables at 5 points with a repeating header and also some "nc=2" and "nr=2" in header.

But when de table font is below 6 points there is a gap between the header and the body; and when there is some nr= in the header, the first row of the body repeats on every page.

The code below shows it. Thankyou in advance for some advices.

\setuppapersize[A5][A5]

%%%%%%%%%%
\starttext

\setupcolors[state=start]

This table at 5 points. Below 6 points there is a gap between the header and the body; and the first row of the body repeats in every page.
