Float placement problem (layers)

Float placement problem (layers)

Dear all,

I have a book cover that is created with layers. It has worked fine
this far and I could swear that I haven't changed anything, but the
file (attached) now hangs on placement of a graphic. What I do not
understand is why the first graphic works and the second, almost
identical, stops the whole process with
"You can't use `\prevdepth' in restricted horizontal mode" and furthermore


\nointerlineskip ->\prevdepth
                              -\thousandpoint
\doplacefloatbox ...pacebefore ] \nointerlineskip
                                                  \flushnotes \nointerlinesk...
\page_one_place_float_here_indeed ...lacefloatbox
                                                  \page_floats_report_total ...
<argument> ..._floats_room \page_one_place_float_here_indeed
                                                  \else \page_floats_save \s...
\thirdofthreearguments #1#2#3->#3

\strc_floats_get_box ... :\floatmethod \endcsname
                                                  \fi


Just in case I updated my ConTeXt today, so I'm running version
2015.02.03, not that it helped. For a long time I was running a
version from September and in that the float worked, but I think it
stopped working when I updated to newest current some time in January,
I just haven't needed this particular file since then.

What went wrong and how can I fix it?

Mari,

Why do you use a float at all?
You can place your graphic in the layer without using \placefigure.

then that is the problem ... doing something vertical pageflow related 
inside a box ... indeed no float has to be used there

Ah, this was the important thing. I've been placing graphics in floats
for so long that I've forgotten there's another way. I switched my
\placefigures to a plain \externalfigure and everything started
working. Obviously it's been sheer luck that the thing used to work,
now it is hopefully done as it should've been from the beginning.


Thank you,

Mari
