Hi Dalyoung,
I think that there must be a small bug in mkiv regarding itemize in columns, but at the same time I think that the problem comes from the fact that in your example you use inline maths and fractions: this perturbs the way the horizontal and vertical distances are calculated by mkiv. It seems that mkiv considers there is not enough horizontal space to put the four items in a row.
If you use two columns the problem is solved, as you can see in the following examples (please typest it both with mkii and mkiv to see the differences).
Best regards: OK

Dear all,
In the following example, the vertical alignment of items looks strange.
I wonder it is my only problem. Is there anything what I have to do to correct it?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Dalyoung
