Hi,

since my Google search didn't bring up any solutions to this problem, I
assume that this has not been reported yet. I'm trying to typeset a
poster with more than one column and it occasionally happens that a
large float (like a figure) precedes a small float (like a table). If
the current column has so little remaining vertical space that only
figure 2 would fit in, it includes them in reversed order.

Which is not bad in principle, but unfortunately the floats also
exchange their number. I included a minimal example with three tables
and only one figure. The figure's caption reads "figure 3" while the
last table is called "table 1". I am using gwTeX with beta ConTeXt
(2005/03/03). All other important information can probably be obtained
from the included log files.

Best regards,

Sebastian Sturm
