I don’t understand the answer I am afraid, I’ve never seen any issue with grid alignment before (I don’t use columns either, and I changed nothing at all).

It might have to do with the fact that the height/depth ratio that is

used doesn't match well with the ascenders/descenders of the font that

you use. The defaults are:

\setupinterlinespace

[height=.72,

depth=.28,

line=2.8\exheight]

so you can play with these. The 72:28 ratio works ok for most fonts but

sometimes need to be adapted. Sometimes the 2.8 is not enough.

(makes me wonder: i can issue a warning when a font can overrun)

(normally grid snapping should catch is but columns are kind of different)
