Hi All, Here's a corner case for you: place a figure with the 'force' option, followed by an enumeration with a background. Like this (also attached as tadtest1.tex): ============================================================ \defineenumeration[enum][before={\startbackground},after={\stopbackground}] \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par} \placefigure[force]{Moooooo}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=.7\textwidth]} \startenum The contents of a test enumeration. \stopenum \stoptext ============================================================ The enumeration will start at the top of the next page (after the figure) even though there's plenty of room below the figure on the same page. If you take the background away from the enumeration (delete the 'before' and 'after' options), OR take the 'force' option off the \placefigure command, then the problem goes away. I suspect that this isn't the expected behavior. :-) Thanks, Tad
