Hi,
please have a look at the minimal below (tex+pdf):
We always have a kind of heading followed by a block of two columns.
But suddenly on page 6, entry "Cassius Dio" has a much larger vertical space above than "Novellen" for example!
Why? And how can this be avoided?

Ah, this was a bad example... I have an other snippet from my original file, please see minimal (tex+pdf) below.
Here we have a bigger space before "Gai epitome" than before "Gai institutiones".
Why is this one? How can this be avoided?
In this case it seems that columns believes (height-wise) that there are 12 lines instead of the actual 11 in the block above. I don't understand why, though.
Wow: "that columns believes" ;o) is there a specialist for parapsychology out there? Hans? The appendix from which these examples come from is quite big and there a dozens of situations like the one shown above: Suddenly there is a little bit more space above, sometimes more sometimes less. But there is no rule, no structure. I tried to throw in some vskip to adjust it manually ... but after 3 hours I gave up: you never get the right distance. So is there a handy work around to get rid off that column's cranky believe? Best, Steffen
