Hello,
please consider the following example file:
\setupalign[line] \starttext \input knuth \blank[big] \input knuth \blank[2*big] % 2*big is much smaller than simple big ! \input knuth \placetable{bla}{\vbox to 18cm{bla}} \stoptext
But \blank[big,big] is working right.
It seems, that we should replace all "2*big" by "big,big" in core-sec.tex
no, this is a bug! (qualifies for stupid bug of the year) in core-spa you will find: % happens often, so we speed this up: \defineblankmethod [2*\v!line] {\addblankskip+{2\openlineheight}{2\openlineheight}} \defineblankmethod [2*\v!big] {\addblankskip+{2\bigskipamount }{2\openlineheight}} comment those two lines! multiplication makes the stretch/shrink disappear (this is a tex feature and i should have know better) you can test the current situation with: \def\addblankskip#1#2#3% {before:\the\blankskip\endgraf \global\advance\blankskip#1\ifgridsnapping#3\else#2\fi after:\the\blankskip\endgraf} test \blank[big] test \blank[big,big] test \blank[2*big] I'll patch it.
