A problem with itemizations

A problem with itemizations

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi,

I have a problem with \startitemize ... \stopitemize.

Sometimes (I have no idea when, but this effect is fully repeatable!) I
get a page break just before a \startitemize.  It is nested (second
level) and follows one line of another item at the 1st level.  It seems
that adding [intro] won't help.  The problem occurs with [columns,two];
I don't know whether this has any influence - when I change the setup
(in the preamble) the page breaks fall in different places, and all my
2nd level itemizations are 2nd level (and I have quite a lot of them).

Any ideas?  I know that the above is rather vague, but it's difficult to
prepare a minimal example etc.

Also, Hans, do I get it correctly that the itemization code will get
rewritten in MkIV?  If yes, is there any chance of having unpacked
itemizations in 2 and more columns?  And any chance of having an
explicit column break (or a preference) in multicolumn itemizations?

Thanks & greets

So, it took a while, but I got kind of a "minimal example":

\starttext
\startitemize[intro]
\dorecurse{12}{%
  \item \dorecurse{\recurselevel}{This is some intro. }Intro ends here.
  \startitemize[intro,columns,two]
  \dorecurse{4}{%
    \item \dorecurse{1}{This is a test. }End of the test.
  }%
  \stopitemize
}%
\stopitemize
\stoptext


(This shows the problem in the online ConTeXt.)

And one more request (not really urgent, but would be nice): if there's
an \item followed directly by another \startitemize (possibly
two-column), a line break is enforced.  Does it have to be?
