Hi everybody,

Does this only happen to me?

No, same problem here. The left column is black, the right one has the desired color. But I have no solution for it (so there was no reply from me earlier). Peter

Hi there,

Just a testing code: =============================

\setupcolors [state=start] \definecolor [testcolor] [r=1,g=.62,b=.0625]

\starttext

\startcolor [testcolor] \startcolumns [direction=left] \dorecurse{15}{\input knuth\endgraf} \stopcolumns \stopcolor

\stoptext

=============================

And I find it's not perfectly what I really want. Is there any tricks I can do to treat the color correctly when I start a multi-column with the option "_direction=left_?"

Anyway, if I put some one-columned texts at the top of the first page, only the first page acts correctly. So I'm thinking can we put some one-columned empty boxes into the \output routine or something? -- Sincerely yours, Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

around line 659 in page-mul:

\ifreversecolumns \popsplitproperties % else wrong color stack \@EA\dohandlerevcolumns \else \@EA\dohandleallcolumns \fi

add popsplitproperties, remake the format and see what happens then
