I'm spinning this question off ano= ther post, as my previous question was very specific, but it was poss= ibly discovered a more general bug exists?

I'm creating some lecture slides that have footn= ote citations throughout. The problem is, the slides themselves already don= 't have much screen space, and adding all of the footnotes on the same slid= e steals limited screen space. It ends up showing one bullet point per slid= e and filling the page with the citation information.

I s= till need to provide citations though. The solution is perhaps to place `\p= lacenotes[footnote]` after several slides. Then, at the very end of the doc= ument list the full bibliography with ` \placelistofpublications`.

In this= way, I still present the citations, but they don't bury the content of the= slides.

But something seems wrong with ConTeX= t, not allowing this to function. Try to compile this code which Joey sent = me and it won't populate `\placenotes[footnote]` with any content:

\startbuffer [bib]

@Book{clark1989,
author =3D {Clark, William},=
title =3D {Railroads \word{and} railroad towns \word{in} New Mexico},publisher =3D {New Mexico Magazine},
year =3D {1989},
address =3D {= Albuquerque, New Mexico},
isbn =3D {9780937206126}
}

\stopbuff= er

\usebtxdataset[bib.buffer]

\setupbtx[dataset=3Ddefault]
\setupnote[footnote][location=3Dnone] % commenting out this line will = produce
footnotes that expand the citation correctly
