Hi Geert,

this is the standard and intended behavior (documented on page 10 from
xtables-mkiv.pdf).

This is a known bug, already reported at the devel mailing list
(https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/dev-context/2020/003694.html).

Well, these are different issues.

My guess: an alternative approach would be to use layers (and adapting
the topspace to the layer on the top of the page).
