Many thanks for your reply, Rik.

I’m afraid none of them works. Here is my sample:

\starttext
    \startxtable[option=stretch]
        \startxrow
            \startxcell
                aaa\blank[none]aaa
            \stopxcell
            \startxcell
                \ConTeXt\ \contextversion
            \stopxcell
        \stopxrow
        \startxrow
            \startxcell
                This cell has multiple lines.
                Vertical spacing is wrong.
            \stopxcell
            \startxcell
                What am I missing?
            \stopxcell
        \stopxrow
    \stopxtable
\stoptext

I’m using latest beta (2014.04.28 23:24) and the issue happens when
there is text before and after the break.

Pablo,

With your example, I get

which shows a problem in row 2. When I add \\ to the first line of text in row 2 column 1, as shown here

\starttext \startxtable[option=stretch] \startxrow \startxcell aaa\blank[none]aaa \stopxcell \startxcell \ConTeXt\ \contextversion \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell This cell has multiple lines.\\ Vertical spacing is wrong. \stopxcell \startxcell What am I missing? \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable\stoptext

I get

which perhaps has some faults in the vertical spacing, but is much better than the original. The spacing can be improved by specifying [align=lohi] for that cell.

I get the same result with the other two methods I suggested. Is there a reason that you cannot use one of these methods in row 2 as you do in row 1?

Perhaps we would all benefit from an obeylines alignment option?
