Hi!
I've encountered a (to me) unexpected behaviour with the columns environment: the vertical alignment looks slightly different depending on whether the text fits on a single column or not. The following example demonstrates this behaviour (ConTeXt LMTX version 2025.07.08 17:48 on a 64-bits Linux machine): the first line looks slightly higher than the second one.
\starttext
\startframed[offset=0pt]
\startcolumns
This is a test
\stopcolumns
\stopframed
\blank[medium]
\startframed[offset=0pt]
\startcolumns
This is a slightly longer test using two columns
\stopcolumns
\stopframed
\stoptext
If this is intended, is there a way to get the same vertical alignment independently of whether the text fits on one or two columns?
Cheers,
Florent
