Re: \startitemize[columns] once again...

[Otared Kavian <otared@gmail.com>]

Hi Marcin, 

I think there is a small bug with itemize and columns: in another thread (with Subject « vertical alignment problem in column items» ) Dalyoung reported also an issue, which is related to what you have observed.
Please see my message in a reply to Dalyoung's message, where I reported some testings but I am not sure when this bug appeared (in mkii, the behaviour is essentially correct).

Best regards: OK
