Hi, if the fontsize is smaller than ~11pt and there is \startcolumnsetspan used, then the two first lines of the second column are not aligned to the grid (they jump). Making the font bigger, or deleting the \startcolumnsetspan can both fix the problem. It seems like a bug to me, but maybe I'm doing something wrong. Any idea about how to align all the lines in this specific table? I'm using it in a whole chapter in a small book with poems and on a small format the jump is visible. \showgrid \setupbodyfont[10pt] %\setupbodyfont[12pt] % works ok \setuppapersize[A8] % just to make this visible \setuplayout[grid=yes] \definecolumnset[example2][n=6, width=20mm] \definecolumnsetspan[title][n=6] \starttext \startcolumnset[example2] \startcolumnsetspan[title] Jumpy table \blank[line] \stopcolumnsetspan \input ward \stoptext Andrej
