placefigure right or left error in ver: 2018.04.04 00:51 MKIV

[Philippe Oechslin]

Hello there,

I recently upgraded to  ConTeXt  ver: 2018.04.04 00:51 MKIV  and found that
the following simple code gives an error, where as it compiled without
complaining in ver: 2017.05.15 21:48.


\setupexternalfigures[location={local,default}]

\starttext
\input ward

\placefigure[left,none]{}{\externalfigure[cow][width=3cm]}

\input ward
\stoptext

The error happens when the location of placefigure is left or right, but not
with center. The error is the following:

I am running a freshly installed Ubuntu 19.04. Has anybody run into this issues,
is there a known workaround ?

Hi Philippe,

it works fine with latest ConTeXt Suite beta from 2019.09.10 20:03.

Since ConTeXt Suite is a portable distribution (you may have it with TeX
Live installed), I'd rather install the latest beta.

So you avoid dealing with already solved issues.

Just in case it helps,

Pablo
