Columns page-break problem
Good morning. I've just installed new ConTeXt (ver. 2006.08.08 21:51), and use perl TeXExec (ver. 5.4.3). Now my old macros using the columns environment have stopped working properly. Even when I type (n being a number) \startcolumns \dorcurse{n}{\input tufte} \stopcolumns a the page is broken after the \stopcolumns sometimes even when only 50-80 % of the page is filled ("a" is in the next page). In my previous installations (I haven't upgraded for a long time) it worked perfect. What's wrong? Was something changed? Haven't I installed the ConTeXt properly? What should I do? Your sincerely Michal Kvasnicka
BTW, I've replaced my ConTeXt with the newest one (ConTeXt ver: 2007.01.12 15:56 MKII), and the outcome is the same. M.K. Michal Kvasnicka napsal(a):

Probably worth sending a complete minimal example, and then someone who knows about columns might be able to help. I don't know anything about them, but I tried the example below using the latest context. The last page (page 22) looks a bit strange: two lines in one column, one line in the third column. But I don't see a better solution to the layout problem. The 'a' is on the final page too, so there was no page spurious break. \starttext \startcolumns \dorecurse{100}{\input tufte} \stopcolumns a \stoptext -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.' (J.R.R. Tolkien)
Can you please try to replicate this mini example: \setupoutput[pdf] \setuppapersize[A5][A5] \starttext \startcolumns \dorecurse{4}{\input tufte\par} \stopcolumns a \startcolumns \dorecurse{5}{\input tufte\par} \stopcolumns \stoptext In my case there is a big hole on the page 2 (after the first \stopcolumns). Even the letter "a" goes to the next page, page 3. I use perl TeXExec 5.4.3, ConTeXt ver: 2007.01.12 15:56 MKII, pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) with teTeX tetex-3.0-37 under SuSE Linux 10.1. Many thanks Michal Kvasnicka

Verified. \stopcolumns seems to generate a pagebreak when the combined length of the text in all the typeset columns would be longer than half of the page height. Can you make a bug report? Best, Taco
Many thanks for your help. I'll do what I can to help Mr. Hagen to improve ConTeXt. Just tell me please how can I make the bug report. Michal Kvasnicka
