using \blank[line] (and also the derived halfline) inserts *no* glue (see definition in context manual). use small,medium,big or any fraction/combination of these instead.
I did several (simpler) tests: \starttext \startcolumns \showmakeup \dorecurse{5}{ \section{Section} \input text } \stopcolumns \stoptext Line alignment is totally wrong. Putting "sections" while having columns leads to wrong alinged lines. I tried several combinations of the following: \setuplayou[grid=yes], \setupcolumns[blank={line,fixed}], various align assignments... The result is always the same. I have read the manual where it is stated that "When a switch in fontsize is desirable you should do so before starting the column mechanism." (page 65). I don't see how this statement is applicable to \section(s) Thanks, Fabio P.S.: text.tex is a simple text paragraph without any control sequence
