Dear list,

I did some research in math-ali.mkiv and found that when grid is enabled, the whole alignment is simply put in a vbox and snapped to the grid using

\def\math_alignment_snap_start
  {\ifgridsnapping
     \snaptogrid[\v!both]\vbox\bgroup
   \fi}

Unfortunately, the `both` option rounds down both depth and height which is inconvenient when the content has large descenders (as in the example).  It  should be therefore changed to some other grid setting which rounds up.  I chose `top` for now but I'm not done experimenting yet.

Cheers, Henri

Furthermore the problem does not arise for single line equations with descenders.  Without grid there is also no problem.
