Is there an explanation how color works and what surprises there are? Hm. I'll have to look into that one. Currently color only handles height of \MR/\FR/\LR/\SR and alike. Color is very tricky in tables, because one has no access to the cell info (this is on the etex wish list). I suggest you split the lines manually. Another way out is \startbuffer[funny] \framed[width=2cm,height=fit,background=color,backgroundcolor=red]{Test ...} \stopbuffer \VL \getbuffer \VL etc (Color in tables uses some rather dirty tricks and is sort of tex hacking to the max. The sort nobody longs to. TeX is not perfect!)
