It turns out not something with position graphics. Instead it is a rogue footnote (that is being colored). It seems that this happens only when the footnote is at a particular point on the page; it is therefore next to impossible to give a minimal example. With some extra thought what happens seems to be this. > PlainTextArea:=boundingbox((95.23926pt,72.9016pt)--(95.23926pt, > 72.9016pt); The area above is made and somehow finished with a semicolon. Then the next part, the shift is put out: > shifted (609.52148pt,476.59792pt));; Together making a statement which is correct except for the intervening semicolon. As it occurs only at specificly placed footnotes, it looks like a subtle flaw in the footnote background generation. I would be happy for a solution, because otherwise typesetting text with footnotes could become a nightmare.
