This helps! But... it breaks something else :-(

I am confused a bit. 

What exactly the linespacing is doing? It can set the baseline distance
(line=...), but it is not handled correctly? Is that snapping a workaround
for this deficiency of a standard solution?

All lines in my book have a certain (default) linespacing.
TOC entries are rendered (by default) using bigger linespacing.

I just wanted to make that TOC distance smaller a bit. Is this really the
only solution?

\definegridsnapping[crap] [fit] % what was that magic number 0.2 ?
\setuplayout[grid=crap]

\start
    \setupinterlinespace[line=2.2ex]
    \placecontent
\stop

It works. But that snapping is set globally and it breaks whitespace
handling in other parts of my document... It even produces widows/orphans
what I haven't seen before.

Just smaller gap between TOC lines, just that ;-)

Thanks in advance, Jan
