Hi Mikael, Thanks a lot for your reply! Yes, using \startboxedcolumns ... \stopboxedcolums gives (as far as I can see) a consistent alignment. Cheers, Florent On Tue, 15 Jul 2025, 12:14 Mikael Sundqvist, wrote:

Hi,

Just guessing: Does \startboxedcolumns ... \stopboxedcolumns work?

Hi!

I've encountered a (to me) unexpected behaviour with the columns environment: the vertical alignment looks slightly different depending on whether the text fits on a single column or not. The following example demonstrates this behaviour (ConTeXt LMTX version 2025.07.08 17:48 on a 64-bits Linux machine): the first line looks slightly higher than the second one.

\starttext \startframed[offset=0pt] \startcolumns This is a test \stopcolumns \stopframed \blank[medium] \startframed[offset=0pt] \startcolumns This is a slightly longer test using two columns \stopcolumns \stopframed \stoptext

If this is intended, is there a way to get the same vertical alignment independently of whether the text fits on one or two columns?

Cheers, Florent
