Hi Hans,
as mentioned a few times by others long footnote entries have problems
with line breaks.
In mixed columns you get a single line for each entry and in page
columns the width for the entries is wrong.
\starttext
\dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{dawkins}\footnote{\samplefile{jojomayer}} }
\page
\startmixedcolumns
\dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{dawkins}\footnote{\samplefile{jojomayer}} }
\stopmixedcolumns
\page
\setupnote[footnote][alternative=columns,n=2]
\startpagecolumns
\dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{dawkins}\footnote{\samplefile{jojomayer}} }
\stoppagecolumns
\stoptext
Wolfgang
