Dear list, I have the following sample (compiled http://www.ousia.tk/list-items.pdf#page=1): \showframe\showgrid \setupbodyfont[pagella,15pt] \starttext \chapter{Chapter title} \section{Section title} \dorecurse{11}{\dorecurse{10}{Sentence. }\par} \startitemize \dorecurse{2}{\item This is an item.} \item This is an item\footnote{This is a footnote.}. \stopitemize \dorecurse{50}{These are other sentences. } \stoptext The footnote moves the whole list to the second page. If I remove the footnote and not the item, the whole list fits in the first page (http://www.ousia.tk/list-items.pdf#page=3). Sorry, but as far as I can understand, I’m afraid this is a bug. ConTeXt is handling list items themselves with widows and orphan rules. Not the lines they contain, but the items themselves. I understand that ConTeXt avoids widow and orphan lines within list items. But it makes no sense (at least, to me) to avoid widow and orphan list items. Could someone confirm the bug or explain me what I’m missing? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
