Float option “top” affects page break (on following pages)

Float option “top” affects page break (on following pages)

[Andreas Harder]

Hi all,

consider the following example.

\starttext \showgrid  
  Try to comment the \tex{placefigure} command, there will be 40 lines on the second page. If you uncomment it again there are 41 lines!
  \placefigure[top,nonumber]{}{\externalfigure[dummy]}
  \page  
  \dorecurse{30}{line \recurselevel\par} \blank[medium,small]
  \dostepwiserecurse{31}{50}{1}{line \recurselevel\par} 
\stoptext

It's really a problem if compiling a component file which ends up with another page breaking than the corresponding product file.

I hope there will be soon a fix for that … is there already one?

Regards
	Andreas

I found a workaround. One can set 
\setupinterlinespace[top=0]

Is this a bad idea? Are there any disadvantages? I would appreciate some explanations.

Greeting

Mostly a matter of border cases I guess. Btw, you show a grid but don't 
turn grid snapping on. No fixes to be expected in mkii, but in mkiv the 
lot will be redone at some point.
