In the rendered output, the footnote is drawn on top of the item (see attached output.png). I am afraid this looks like a bug. Please consider fixing this or tell me how to make footnotes render in the footnote area.

dunno if it's a bug, but I usually do

\starttext Text \footnote{Bla} \startcolumns \startitemize \item \input knuth\relax \item \input knuth\relax \stopitemize \stopcolumns \stoptext

Thank you for your answer Luigi! (And sorry for my slow response - spam filter was doing crazy things.) Your solution indeed makes the footnote appear at the right place. But the layout is not the same as with \startitemize[columns]. Consider: Text \footnote{Bla} \startcolumns \startitemize \dorecurse{8}{\item Item} \stopitemize \stopcolumns This results in 5 "Item"s in the left column and 3 "Item"s in the right column. On the other hand Text \footnote{Bla} \startitemize[columns] \dorecurse{8}{\item Item} \stopitemize results in 4 "Item"s in both columns, which IMHO is more correct. Don't you agree that \startitmize[columns] is buggy with respect to footnotes? Or is the [columns] parameter not supported anymore? Cheers, Christoph
