Problem with columns and footnotes
Dear list, motivated by a question on TeX.SX I wanted to typeset multicolumn text with multicolumn footnotes. However, on the first page the distance between the columns and the footnote area is way too large. Occurs in TL2017 and latest beta. Also, is there something to influence the alignment inside the footnotes more aggressively. There are a couple of bad boxes. Is it possible to turn of balancing for the footnote columns?

Hi Henri, add width=broad to this. But in that case \setupnotes[spacebefore=3em] doesn’t work. Just in case it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hi Henri,
add width=broad to this.
That seems to make the alignment a little more relaxed (still not so nice in my opinion). At the same time the text now crashes into the footnotes on the second page (see attached). I also noticed that footnote 5 is displayed on the first page but the anchor is on the second page.
But in that case \setupnotes[spacebefore=3em] doesn’t work.
Just in case it helps,
Pablo

this is the first time I see footnote text placed in a page before the footnote reference. In the past, I saw foonotes places in the page after the reference. But the issue here may be the columns: \showframe \showgrid \setupcolumns [rule=on] \starttext \startcolumns[n=2] \input Knuth \input ward \input hawking \input Knuth \input ward \input Knuth \input ward \input hawking \input Knuth \input ward \input ward \stopcolumns \stoptext The last line from the first page should be placed in the second page. Or at least, the footer shouldn’t contain text from the body. And in the sample with footnotes, text from columns is broken too early. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
