Is it normal that after \setupcolumns[balance=no] the dividing line is not fully drawn in the case where the column at the left is shorter than the one to the right.
And furthermore that balance=no inserts a pagebreak, whereas balance=yes does not?
Below a minimal example.

Hans van der Meer

\setupcolumns[rule=on,balance=no]
\starttext
\startcolumns
	Short leftcolumn.
\column
	Long rightcolumn.
	Long rightcolumn.
