Hi,

Just guessing: Does \startboxedcolumns ... \stopboxedcolumns work?

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
