Hi,

if he has this problem only at one place and has no time he could
use TeX's halign primitive because this did still work.

It is also easy to write a simple wrapper around this this emulate
ConTeXt's table syntax.

\starttext

\startcolumns[rule=on]
\halign{\strut#\quad&\hfil#\cr
one: & text \cr
two: & text \cr
three: & text \cr
four: & text \cr
five: & text \cr
six: & text \cr
seven: & text \cr
eight: & text \cr}
\stopcolumns

\stoptext

Wolfgang
