Dear chaps, consider the following: --- \setuplayout [lines=41, grid=no] \starttext %\showframe[text] \showgrid \dorecurse{2}{\input tufte\footnote{This is some text} \par} \section{Test} \dorecurse{2}{\input tufte\footnote{This is some text} \par} \stoptext --- As long as the grid is turned off, the footnote block perfectly aligns with the bodytext frame. However, turn the grid on and the footnote block suddenly jumps about a line downwards. What's going on here? Best wishes, Oliver
