I have found the following to be necessary when using textbackground,
especially when backgrounds cross page boundaries:
\setnewconstant\kindofpagetextareas\plusone
% partial page. HH: low level, no high level switch (yet)
Maybe Hans can explain this?
Because it's an option (with no parameter yet .. not sure where/how to configure it; for floats one can do it per float)
\setnewconstant\kindofpagetextareas\plusone
That indeed solves the problem of the textbackground extended over footnotes. Is that anywhere documented? I did not find that anywhere. And what exactly does that command do?
Would it not be a good idea to add this as an option in the definition of a textbackground?
