When I try to do something with \placefigure I get a "floatblocks :
order disturbed" error and no figure placed.
Please make a example because this works for me:
I solved my immediate problem by using a separate layout with a
slightly bigger text area: the image doesn't float to the next page any
longer. I'm still curious to know what went wrong, but since my setup
is rather complicated I need some time to make a good minimal example.
(I'll put it on my to do list...)
