Hello Hans,
this fails in mkiv:
\setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \startMPpage picture p; p := textext("abc"); draw p withcolor red; draw p shifted (3cm,0) withcolor blue; \stopMPpage \stoptext
this is because text is handled at the tex end and color happens with attributes; i can hack a solution but i'm still wondering if it is really needed (will make code dirty)
It's not only about "color doesn't work" (though it would be really nice if it would, but there have been many incompatibilities in that respect since the introduction of \sometxt anyway), but the picture also gets lost second time when it's used. I only get one "abc" and empty space instead of the second one. (The third problem mentioned turned out to be just a bug in my code that happened to work with an older version of mkiv.) Mojca
