TABLE: Problem with column widths

TABLE: Problem with column widths

Hello,

I'd like to typeset a very simple natural table:

- table width to be "maximum of the current scope" (typically \textwidth) (option = stretch)
- 1st column to have width of 1 in,
- 2nd column to have (maximum) remaining width (typically \textwidth - 1 in)

Let's have two (almost identical) TABLEs - the only difference is that the latter inputs zapf whilst the former doesn't:

----
%\showframe
\starttext
   Table 1:

   \bTABLE[option=stretch]
     \setupTABLE[column][1][width=1in]
     \bTR
       \bTD Col1 \eTD
       \bTD
         %\input zapf % !!!
       \eTD
     \eTR
     \bTR \bTD Col1 \eTD \bTD abc \eTD \eTR
   \eTABLE

   \blank

   Table 2:

   \bTABLE[option=stretch]
     \setupTABLE[column][1][width=1in]
     \bTR
       \bTD Col1 \eTD
       \bTD
         \input zapf
       \eTD
     \eTR
     \bTR \bTD Col1 \eTD \bTD abc \eTD \eTR
   \eTABLE
\stoptext
----

What's wrong with the Table 1? Its first column should have width of 1 in!?

Best regards,

Lukas
