It didn't work here either, but it did when I started using
Hans' experimental context source file. :-)

You are not seeing the effect?

I have put some files up on the web, generated with the latest beta.

The (bad) output and source with the \definetextbackground line in:

http://www.capdm.com/public/context/test-bad.pdf
http://www.capdm.com/public/context/test-bad.tex

The (good) output and source with the \definetextbackground line
commented out:

http://www.capdm.com/public/context/test-good.pdf
http://www.capdm.com/public/context/test-good.tex

I don't know if that will help?

Thanks,

Duncan

Re: Very strange bug related to textbackground

[Sanjoy Mahajan]

I don't have a fix, only chiming in that I've seen the same issue.  It
happened when I was learning about backgrounds, so I figured it was my
ignorance and didn't save the test file.  But I'll try to reconstruct
it.

Very strange bug related to textbackground

[Duncan Hothersall]

I have been fighting with this one for ages, and have now narrowed down
the culprit, but I do not understand why it happens.

Latest (non-beta) ConTeXt, also tested in the live garden (same result):

----
\setupcaption[figure][align=right,location=bottom]
\setupcaption[table][align=right,location=top]
%\definetextbackground[irrelevant][frame=on] %uncomment for weirdness

\starttext
\placetable[here]{\vtop{\hsize=105mm \dorecurse{12}{sample content }}}
{\bTABLE[option=stretch]
\bTR \bTD High\eTD\bTD Middling\eTD\bTD Low\eTD\eTR
\eTABLE}

\dorecurse{10}{sample content }

\placefigure[here]{\vtop{\hsize=105mm \dorecurse{12}{sample content
}}}{\framed[width=\textwidth,height=50mm,align={middle,lohi}]{sample}}
\stoptext
----

As it stands, this produces the expected output (a table and a figure
each with long captions, with the captions set 'hanging'). However, if I
define a totally unrelated textbackground (uncomment the third line),
both captions veer off upwards, apparently a distance related to the
number of lines in the title (play with the dorecurse numbers to see the
effects).

It doesn't seem to matter what the background is called, whether or not
it is ever used, or what parameters it is given.

I have no idea why something seemingly unrelated is having this effect;
some reuse of a variable or unreset value somewhere?

I would be really grateful if someone could [tell me how to] fix this.

Bests,

Duncan
