Re: ConTeXt ignores crop in some pdf graphics

[Henning Hraban Ramm <texml@fiee.net>]

Hi Mari,
I can confirm the same behaviour with graphics from other sources like
Illustrator - seems like ConTeXt doesn't use the CropBox (visible size)
any more, but the MediaBox (full sheet). Or maybe the TrimBox (cut size).
It would make sense to have than configurable, but the change in
behaviour is really inconvenient.

Greetlings from one row in front of you ;)
