Thank you, Hans, this works absolutely great!

Two little questions:

I have set it now globally for _all_ floats as \setupfloats[freeregion=no].
At a first glance it doesn’t seem to cause any issues. 
Is there any pitfall when setting it globally, which I might not be aware?

Is 'freeregion=no' an option that is meant to stay, or is it a workaround for the recent betas?

Thanks again,
Best,
