Hi,
footnotes in two column layouts are typeset at the bottom of the
respected column but with the width of two columns.
Expected: 1) Either footnotes spanning the whole page from left to right
at the bottom of the page. 2) Or have the footnote be restricted to one
column only.
How can I achieve the former?
I would be thankful for help.
Best,
Thomas

Minimal example: On the first page, footnotes run into each other. On
the second page, footnote runs into text.
\setuppapersize[A5][A5]
\setupbodyfont[10pt]
\definestartstop[abstract]
[before={\blank\midaligned{\bf Abstract}\startnarrower[2*middle]},
after={\stopnarrower\blank[big]}]
\definecolumnset[TwoColumns][n=2]
\starttext
\title{Two Column Layout with Footnotes Spanning Page}
\startabstract
Footnotes start at the wrong place.
And why is blank[big] ignored after this abstract?
\stopabstract
\godown[1em]
\startcolumnset[TwoColumns]

This is a test.\footnote{Why do footnotes

Use the \startcolumns environment.
