Hi,

I don't have to use framedtext, the reason for that it is the only way I can found to group a question and its itemized options together, in a page.

Is there any way to ensure that a group (a question and its answer options) must be located in same page and if it needs extra spacing whole group goes into the next page?

Regards,

The odd behavior is caused by the „columns“ option in the itemize (which will never work for you in your file because you use it inside framedtext where columns are not possible). You can also see the effect in this far simpler example:

\starttext

\dorecurse{20}
 {\startframedtext
  \startcolumns
   text
  \stopcolumns
  \stopframedtext}

\stoptext
