Hi,

footnotes in two column layouts are typeset at the bottom of the respected column but with the width of two columns.

Expected: 1) Either footnotes spanning the whole page from left to right at the bottom of the page. 2) Or have the footnote be restricted to one column only.

How can I achieve the former?

I would be thankful for help.

Best,
Thomas

Minimal example: On the first page, footnotes run into each other. On the second page, footnote runs into text.

\setuppapersize[A5][A5]

\setupbodyfont[10pt]

\definestartstop[abstract]
    [before={\blank\midaligned{\bf Abstract}\startnarrower[2*middle]},
    after={\stopnarrower\blank[big]}]

\definecolumnset[TwoColumns][n=2]

\starttext
\title{Two Column Layout with Footnotes Spanning Page}

\startabstract
Footnotes start at the wrong place.
And why is blank[big] ignored after this abstract?
\stopabstract

\godown[1em]

\startcolumnset[TwoColumns]
\section{The first}
