[tex-live] interaction between multicol and color

[Lars Madsen]

Hubert Lam has reports this example on the texhax mailinglist. I'm just posting it here for completness and asked him to file a bug at latex-project.org

In the example the columns are balanced if the color package is NOT added. This did NOT happen with TL13 

\listfiles
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{color} 
\usepackage{pifont}
\begin{document}

\begin{minipage}{0.975\linewidth}
\paragraph{Class}  (please \ding{52})\\
\begin{multicols}{2}
\begin{itemize}
\item[$\bigcirc$] 12M3A -- Mr Zuber
\item[$\bigcirc$] 12M3B -- Mr Berry
\item[$\bigcirc$] 12M3C -- Mr Lowe
\columnbreak
\item[$\bigcirc$] 12M4A -- Ms Ziaziaris
\item[$\bigcirc$] 12M4B -- Mr Lam
\item[$\bigcirc$] 12M4C -- Mr Ireland
\end{itemize}
\end{multicols}
\end{minipage}
\end{document}
