Formula has excess vertical spacing when in two column itemize

Hi List, I am getting better at adjusting the space in enumerations, but I just put a formula inside an enumeration, and the formula’s vertical spacing became excessive. I’m not sure how the enumeration caused this problem. \starttext Evaluate the following derivatives. \startitemize[n, columns, two, nowhite, after] \item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dx} x^2$ This is where the solution should be. Text answers look fine, but formulas have too much space above, below and between lines\dots. \item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dx}\left( x^3 + 2x \right)$ \item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dx}\left( x^{-2} \right)$ \item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dt}\left( 4t^4 - 3t^{\onehalf} \right) $ \item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dt}( 9 - 3t )$ \startformula\startmathalignment \NC \frac{d}{dt}( 9 - 3t ) \NC= \frac{d}{dt} 9 - \frac{d}{dt} 3t \NR \NC \NC= 0 - 3\frac{d}{dt} t \NR \NC \NC= -3\cdot 1t^0 \NR \NC \NC= -3 \NR \stopmathalignment\stopformula \item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dp}\left( p^3 - 2p \right)$ \stopitemize \stoptext I’m also attaching a file with the above issue followed by the correct spacing in one-column for comparison. I’m using LMTX (today’s upload, ver: 2022.10.21 21:13 LMTX fmt: 2022.10.21) on an M1 Mac. Any ideas? Gavin
