Ok, I have now tested a more minimal example with version in TL 2019 and with the current standalone.
The example works perfectly with the version that was included in TL 2019 (2019.03.21 21:39).
In the current beta I get this behaviour: A figure on a page after page 1 does not stick to the bottom of the page if we have no caption.

```
\usemodule[newcolumnsets]

\setuplayout
  [grid=yes]

\definecolumnset[example][n=2]

\starttext

\startcolumnset[example]

\dorecurse{11}{
  \input ward\par
}

\placefigure [btrl,none]
{}
{
\externalfigure[placeholder][width=\columnsetspanwidth{2}]
}
 
\dorecurse{10}{
  \input ward\par
}



\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
```

Is this a bug, or am I making a mistake somewhere?

Best,
Denis

Hi,

just a quick follow up:

This (i.e., deleting the "none") gives the right result:

```
\placefigure [btrl]
{}
{
\externalfigure[placeholder][width=\columnsetspanwidth{2}]
``` 

The figure is indeed at the bottom of the page. Yet, `\placefigure [btrl,none]` seems to remove the caption, but the figure stays where it was and we have additional lines under the figure. Shouldn't the figure stick to the margin?
 
Best,
Denis

Hi,
I am typesetting a newsletter using newcolumnsets, and I am struggling with placing my graphics. Why isn't the graphic on page 2 at the bottom (code below)?
Best,
