Hans,
Is this also the cause of problems I noted with heading placed into the
margin, as in the example below?
% Extra whitespace after some marginal section headings
%
% When section heads are set in the margin, the following body
% text should start on the same line as the heading. This is
% the case with plain text, but not always the case with other
% features (floats and enumerations). Wolfgang suggested adding
% insidesection={blank[overlay]} to the section heading setup, but
% that only helps with enumerations and with tabulate tables that do
% not start with an HL (it fails with natural tables as well). And
% that success only comes with start/stop sectioning. With traditional
% sectioning, there are more failures.

no, unrelated, try this:
\setuphead
[section]
[after={\strut\blank[-2*line,samepage,disable]},
command=\SectionCommand,
distance=0pt]
\define[2]\SectionCommand{\inleft{XXXXXX}}

Hi Hans,
many thanks for your explanation and sorry for the trouble.
I created the test case that only contains three issues related to page
breaks.
Many thanks for the new beta, I’m afraid I’m still experiencing issues.
\showframe\showgrid
\setupbodyfont[pagella,15pt]
\starttext
\dorecurse{100}{This is a sentence. }
\startitemize
\dorecurse{3}{\item This is an item.\par}
\stopitemize
\stoptext
Previous beta located two items on the first page. Latest beta locates
only one. But when items are higher than two, the first item disappears
from the first page in the second run.
And my first sample works fine with the new beta, but not with the real
book. I’ll try to get a new sample.
Many thanks for your help again,
Pablo.

Hi Hans,
I found out that the issue I wrote about in my previous message is about
widow and orphan lines.
Here is the sample:
\showframe\showgrid
\setuplayout[setups=*lessstrict]
\startsetups[*lessstrict]
\setup[reset]
\widowpenalty=10000
\clubpenalty=10000
\stopsetups
\setupbodyfont[pagella,15pt]
\starttext
\chapter{Chapter}
\section{Section}
\dorecurse{103}{\ConTeXt\ is fun! }
\subsection{Subsection}
\ConTeXt\ is fun!
\stoptext
Many thanks for your excellent work,
Pablo
