Hi Hans,

as mentioned a few times by others long footnote entries have problems
with line breaks.

In mixed columns you get a single line for each entry and in page
columns the width for the entries is wrong.

\starttext

\dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{dawkins}\footnote{\samplefile{jojomayer}} }

\page

\startmixedcolumns
\dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{dawkins}\footnote{\samplefile{jojomayer}} }
\stopmixedcolumns

\page

\setupnote[footnote][alternative=columns,n=2]
