tabulate + columns

[Andres Loeh <andres@cs.uu.nl>]

Hi.

I was trying to display a tabulate environment in mutliple columns.
Unfortunately, balancing seems no to work as intended. Example:

\starttext

\startcolumns [n=4,balance=yes]
\starttabulate [|l|r|]
\NC One         \NC $1$ \NC \NR
\NC Two         \NC $1$ \NC \NR
\NC Three       \NC $3$ \NC \NR
\NC Four        \NC $2$ \NC \NR
\NC Five        \NC $2$ \NC \NR
\NC Six         \NC $3$ \NC \NR
\NC Seven       \NC $2$ \NC \NR
\NC Eight       \NC $1$ \NC \NR
\stoptabulate
\stopcolumns

\stoptext

This leads to four columns with 3 + 3 + 2 + 0 items instead of the intended 2
+ 2 + 2 + 2. 

If I replace n=4 by n=2, I get 5 + 3 instead 4 + 4.

Is this not supposed to work? Is there a workaround of some kind, or a
configuration option I am missing? 

Best,
  Andres
