Subject: Lost document background

Hi Hans,

under certain circumstances document backgrounds (overlays) are lost.


A minimum real live example is this:

\definelayer[test]

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]

\setupmakeup[standard][doublesided=empty] % background is lost
%\setupmakeup[standard][doublesided=yes]   % background is visible

\startsetups[test]
\setlayer[test][hoffset=4cm,voffset=7cm]{\tfd text}
\stopsetups

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=test,setups=test]

\starttext

\startstandardmakeup
text
\stopstandardmakeup

test

\stoptext

With 'doublesided=yes' the background is visible but with 
'doublesided=empty'
no background is shown.


I spend a few hours to find the reason for this and i was able to produce
a shorter example:

\defineoverlay[test][\tfd text]

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=test,state=repeat]

\starttext

text\page\page[blank]\null\page

%\chardef\pageornamentstate\zerocount

text

\stoptext

The problem is that '\page[blank]' sets \pageornamentstate at global 
level to '1'.


Wolfgang
