I noticed some unexpected behavior while putting together a minimal working
example for a different issue. In a multi-column layout with column
balancing turned on, if the first column contains a single line and that
line contains a footnote, then the footnote will not be typeset. A minimal
example demonstrating this follows:
\starttext
\startcolumns[n=2]
A single line of text with balancing.\footnote{Footnote dropped in
column balancing.}
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
I typeset this using ConTeXt version 2020.03.10 (from the TeXLive 2020
distribution).
Clearly, the situation I described is an exceptional one, but it could
happen in some real cases (e.g., if the last page of a two-column text
consists of a widowed line with a footnote), and in any event, this seems
like unintended behavior, so I thought I should bring it to the mailing
list's attention.
