This is quite unfortunate, and I've long been wanting a better alternative that will work with 2-column text but also break across pages when needed. Haven't found one yet. Failing that, it may be worth having an option for regular tables. > Do I indeed have to resort into writing my own raw LaTeX code if I want > tables in two-column output? It's probably possible to redefine the longtable environment to something else in your preamble.
