context mkii/mkiv bug: columnset lines dont work

[Yue Wang]

Hi, Hans:

I think there is a bug in context. the last example in your
columns.pdf doesn't work anymore. would you please have a look?

For next time: can you please send a small test file with the
report? It makes the message a bit longer, but having to cut
and paste from a pdf isn't a lot of fun either.

I've attached the example now.

Hans, the problem is that the bottom set [n=3,balance=yes]
does not balance at all, it just fills the avaiable space
top-to-bottom until the text runs out.

Best wishes,
Taco

hmm , in page-set.tex

\def\dostopcolumnset
  {%\OTRSETdofinalflushfloats % yes/no
   \ifcase\OTRSETbalancemethod
     \OTRSETnobalance
   \else
     \OTRSETdobalance
   \fi}

\def\OTRSETdobalance
  {\OTRSETnobalance}
