\automigrateinserts \starttext \startbackground This is a test\footnote{Footnote} continue \stopbackground \stoptext
According to node-mig.mkiv, this might cause problems with notes inside captions.

This indeed does the trick! Thank you very much! Maybe I will take use of Hans’ suggestion about textbackgrounds, but as I remember I have switched from those to backgrounds because they sometimes showed strange behaviour at page breaks if formulas are involved (leaving far too much space at the bottom of a page that could be used if I used backgrounds). Maybe I will be able to write a minimal example showing this effect of textbackgrounds. However, I have met some issues using your solution, Aditya, with \automigrateinserts. I got one text in background containing a footnote that has been rendered onto the footnote. Of course this can only happen if the backgrounded text appears at the bottom of a page. It is a little hard to get a minimal example showing this. But I think everyone can imagine what I mean. Maybe I will be able to produce minimal examples of both issues and then I will send it to the list and maybe Hans or someone with similar skills can take care of that effects. Best and many thanks for the help Mathias
