Hi, I have encountered another issue with columns: it seems that in some cases the height of the content is not entirely accounted for. From the small experiments I made, the problem seems to only occur when the content of the left column is larger than the content of the right one by a fraction of the line height. The example below demonstrates the issue. The same issue seems to occur with \startboxedcolumns ... \stopboxedcolumns but not with \startsimplecolumns ... \stopsimplecolumns. Is there a way to have a frame or hrules around the full content of \startcolumns ... \stopcolumns? _______________________________________________________________________ \starttext % The left frame is slightly too small \startcolumns[n=2,frame=on] Line \par \blank[1.5ex] Line \par Line \par Line \stopcolumns \blank[big] % Same issue with hrules: the lower one overlaps with the content of the left column \hrule \startcolumns[n=2] Line \par \blank[1.5ex] Line \par Line \par Line \stopcolumns \hrule \blank[big] % Same issue with \startframed ... \stopframed \startframed[offset=none] \startcolumns[n=2] Line \par \blank[1.5ex] Line \par Line \par Line \stopcolumns \stopframed \blank[big] % Using strut=local seems to fix the issue in this case... \startframed[offset=none,strut=local] \startcolumns[n=2] Line \par \blank[1.5ex] Line \par Line \par Line \stopcolumns \stopframed \blank[big] % ... but becomes a problem on this example... \startframed[offset=none,strut=local] \startcolumns[n=2] A longer phrase which does not fit on one single line \par Line \par \stopcolumns \stopframed \blank[big] % ... which works fine without strut=local \startframed[offset=none] \startcolumns[n=2] A longer phrase which does not fit on one single line \par Line \par \stopcolumns \stopframed \blank[big] % Using \startsimplecolumns ... \stopsimplecolumns seems to consistently give a good enough frame % (although with maybe a bit too much white space at the bottom in this case) \startframed[offset=none] \startsimplecolumns[n=2] Line \par \blank[1.5ex] Line \par Line \par Line \stopsimplecolumns \stopframed \stoptext _______________________________________________________________________ Cheers, Florent
