Hi, The second page of the following document has overlapping text in the second column (this has been as minimal as I can get): \setuphead[section][before={\testcolumn[4]},] \starttext \startmixedcolumns[align=right, balance=yes, grid=strut,] \dorecurse{5}{ \startsection \startitemize[inbetween={\blank[.25em]},] \item{Item} \item{Item item item item item item item item} \dorecurse{2}{\item{Item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item}} \item{item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item} \dorecurse{3}{\item{Item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item}} \item{Item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item item} \stopitemize \stopsection } \stopmixedcolumns \stoptext Changing the \testcolumn value from 4 to anything else has no effect. Removing it altogether, however, does affect the outcome.
