+\subsection{Improve spacing at top of \env{minipages}}
+
+A list and several other document elements add some vertical space in
+front of them. However this should not happen at the beginning of a
+box (such as a \env{minipage}) and normally it doesnn't, because
+\TeX{} automatically drops such spaces at the start of a vertical
+list. However, if there is some invisible material, sich as a
+\cs{color} command, some \pkg{hyperref} anchor, a \cs{write} or
+something else, then list is no longer empty and \TeX{} no longer drops
+spaces, hence the difference.
+
+With the new paragraph handling introduced in 2021 it is now finally
+possible to detect and avoid this problem and apply appropriate
+counter measures so that from now on the spacing will be always
+correct.
