grid and formulas

grid and formulas

[Leif Albers]

Hello again,

I have the impression you can basically forget about the
grid mode when using formulas.

I started writing a simple text containing lots of
math. When I turned on grid mode I basically saw
... well ... not at all what I expected.

A simple example is: (watch the last line)

-------------------- SNIPP --------------------
\setuplayout [grid=yes]
\showgrid

\starttext
x
\startformula
  x
\stopformula
x$\tilde I$
\stoptext
-------------------- SNIPP --------------------

Note that in normal Text $\tilde I$ is correctly
aligned. The combination with the big formula is a
problem. But it is clearly not the only situation in which
problems with grid and formulas occur.

P.S. Is this list the correct place for bug reports?

the problem is that \tilde I is much to high, so when you want it gridded, 
say:

   x \gform{\tilde I} x

when a formule becomes to high, it will add halflines before and after the 
line (not here)
