Hi,

I believe I have isolated the problem:

\starttext balance \startmixedcolumns[balance=yes,] \dorecurse{8}{\input{ward}} \stopmixedcolumns %\page

strut \startmixedcolumns[grid=strut,] \dorecurse{4}{\input{knuth}} \stopmixedcolumns \stoptext

When balanced mixedcolumns are followed by mixedcolumns using a strut grid, then the content of the second mixedcolumns will extend into the footer area on the next page. However, if the content of the strut grid mixedcolumns is long enough to incur a page break on that next page, then no content spills into the footer.

How can I help fix this?

can you experiment with this: \unprotect \setvalue{\??mixedcolumnsstop\s!otr}% {\par \ifcase\c_page_mix_otr_nesting\or \doifelse{\mixedcolumnsparameter\c!balance}\v!yes {\c_page_mix_routine\c_page_mix_routine_balance}% {\penalty-\plustenthousand}% weird hack, we need to trigger the otr sometimes \page_otr_trigger_output_routine \fi} \protect (put it in cont-new.mkiv) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
