Hello all,
Last October Denis Maier complained about a spurious empty line
generated with protrusion and bidi active and a full paragraph. (See
https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg95916.html
<https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg95916.html> or
similar on your favorite mail archive.)
I have recreated the issue without involving protrusion. When a
paragraph is very full and bidi is on, an extra line seems to be
generated. Without bidi there is no extra line. This is quite sensitive,
of course, to line width. I have probably 30 instances of it occurring
in a tightly-set bibliography. I would assume that it may occur in any
text, but have not noticed it in the body of my book.
I have created an example document that shows it. The problem disappears
if bidi is turned off (comment out the first non-comment line) but of
course then the RTL text is mis-set. In this example, the spurious line
appears after the Walt Kelly entry.
This was tested under ConTeXt ver: 2021.06.18 23:37 LMTX fmt:
2021.6.21, but is not a new problem with this version. /The problem does
not occur with MKIV from the same installation./

Of course, there could be some other mechanism at work here than bidi,
but changing that clears the problem in this instance. (It may be the
adjustment to spaceskip that I use to tighten up the text in the
bibliography, and if it is, I welcome an alternative way to do that.)
