Re: trouble with typescripts

["Thomas A. Schmitz" <thomas.schmitz@uni-bonn.de>]

Replying to my own ooooooold question: this problem has disappeared  
in newer versions of ConTeXt, as I just found out -- thanks for  
taking care of it! Taco, one wish for the bug collector: could we  
have a place for resolved bugs (or is it there and I just didn't find  
it)? I knew there had been a bug report wrt this problem, and it  
would've been reassuring to see a "resolved" tag attached to it.

Thanks, and best

Thomas
