This works, but shouldn't be the whitespace a global setting?

I found an other ?solution? 

When BOTH

\setupwhitespace[small]
\setupcolumns[blank=halfline]

is set then halfline is accepted. But halfline > small.

I like context very much, but finding the right option is often a 
game of pure chance.

\startcolumns[n=2,blank=medium]
\input knuth
\stopcolumns

it's not a bug as by default columns are set up with

blank={line,fixed}

this has always been the case; as columns can be mixed with no columns 
we want the lines to align

ConTeXt does this to keep the lines on the grid.

\setupwhitespace[medium]

\starttext

\startcolumns
\input knuth
\stopcolumns

\startcolumns[blank=medium]
\input knuth
\stopcolumns

\stoptext

columns and whitespace

There was a thread about columns and whitespace ~ 2 weeks ago, but I wasn't
a subscriber then.  I've just come across it independently myself.  I'm not
sure what conclusion was come to.  From a few tests, I'd characterize the
problem code in \startcolumns as: "if whitespace has been set to more than
none, set whitespace to 'line'."

Try it by uncommenting various lines:


%\setupwhitespace[none]
%\setupwhitespace[small]

\starttext

\startcolumns[n=2]
%\setupwhitespace[small]
\input knuth
\stopcolumns

\stoptext


Do people agree with that characterization; has the bug been found; what's
being done about it?  I don't want to have to re-setup whitespace every time
I go to columns.

Set the whitespace after \startcolumns.

Neither \setupwhitespace[halfline]nor \setupcolumns[blank=halfline]is 
working. Grid is off by default, isn't it?

halfline should work unless the grid is forced (although in mkiv 
different rules apply than in mkii)

columns and whitespace

[Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini]

Hallo,

is it possible to get a half line space after paragraphs in columns?
The default is no space. And

\setupwhitespace[small]

produces a whole line of space.
