This has come up a few times on this list. Hans has stated a reluctance to make a change or add an option to discard the unused vertical space (see https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg21273.html from March 2007, and most recently https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg86872.html in January 2018). The workaround that Hans suggests in that last post , adding the flag 'high', almost resolves the issue in your example. -- Rik
