I remember that I switched to backgrounds (from \definetextbackground) because I did get problems at page breaks. Regarding that backgrounds showed the best behaviour but sadly it has the described problems using footnotes.

Does no-one know what I can do to settle the problem? I have created a minimal example that shows the problem using textbackground to work around the footnote problem. But sadly the framedtext environment does not seem to be able to break across pages. Besides I would prefer the background solution. So what can I do to get the footnotes in a background environment displayed?

Help appreciated!

The minimal example follows:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\setupbackground[
	width=\textwidth,
	frame=on,
	framecolor=black,
	rulethickness=1pt,
	background=color,
	backgroundcolor=green,
	corner=0,
	before={\blank[4*small]},
	after={\blank[5*small]},
	topoffset=10pt,
    bottomoffset=10pt,
    leftoffset=10pt,
   	rightoffset=10pt]

\setupframedtext
      [width=\textwidth,
       frame=on,
       framecolor=black,
       rulethickness=1pt,
       background=color,
	   backgroundcolor=red,
       corner=0,
       offset=12pt]     
\starttext
%
\startbackground
	%
	If you typeset text with background, the footnote workaround does not work.\postponenotes\footnote{So what could I do to get this footnote displayed?}
	%
\stopbackground
\flushnotes
%
\startbackground
	%
	One advantages of backgrounds is that they break across pages, as you can see here:
	%
	\dorecurse{5}{%
		\input{knuth}%
		}
	%
\stopbackground
%
Compare that to the output of framedtext (the gap on this page is not intended!):
%
\startframedtext
	%
	Here I am getting trouble with breaking across pages.
	This was the first reason why I switched to backgrounds.
	%
	\dorecurse{5}{%
		\input{knuth}%
	}
   	%
\stopframedtext
%
\stoptext
