Hi Nicolai, I am not shure that the second example works. Also there I get the same problem as in example one. The pagebreak-problem remains als if you withdraw \nop and replace it with \item I use currently version: ConTeXt ver: 2004.3.19 fmt: 2004.6.6 This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.11a-2.1 (Web2c 7.5.2) (format=cont-en 2004.6.6) 12 JUN 2004 15:00 Hans, what is the meaning of the k behind PdfTeX?

Text following the itemize doesn't get paginated properly. Having a new chapter after it seems to fix it from there on, though.

\starttext

\chapter{One}

\dorecurse{7}{\input zapf \par\relax}

\startitemize[columns,four] \dorecurse{12}{\nop \type{[:alnum:]}} \stopitemize

\dorecurse{7}{\input zapf \par\relax}

\stoptext

This fails for \startitemize[columns] as well. It seems that the problem arises when the itemize is pushed onto the second page. Remove the first \dorecurse{7}{\input ...} and it works fine...

Here's an example where the following chapter will be typeset correctly:

\starttext

\chapter{One}

\dorecurse{7}{\input zapf \par\relax}

\startitemize[columns,four] \dorecurse{12}{\nop \type{[:alnum:]}} \stopitemize

\dorecurse{7}{\input zapf \par\relax}

\chapter{Two}

\dorecurse{7}{\input zapf \par\relax}

\stoptext

i posted a fix for that: \def\endmulticolumns {%\par \vskip\lineheight\vskip-\lineheight % take footnotes into account \dontshowcomposition \doflushcolumnfloat % added recently %\doflushcolumnfloats % no, since it results in wrong top floats \flushnotes % before start of columns \par \ifbalancecolumns \global\output{\continuousmulticolumnsout}% \goodbreak \global\output{\balancedmulticolumnsout}% \else \goodbreak \fi \eject % the prevdepth is important, try e.g. toclist in \prevdepth\zeropoint % columns before some noncolumned text text \global\output\singlecolumnout \global\output{\the\mainoutput}% % % % % todo \ifvoid\precolumnbox\else \unvbox\precolumnbox \fi \global\precolumnboxheight\zeropoint \endgroup % here \nofcolumns\plusone \setvsize % the outer one! \synchronizeoutput % new may 2004 / we need to: \pagegoal\vsize \checkendcolumnfootnotes \dosomebreak\allowbreak \restoresavedfloats} this should go into cont=new.tex
