In the latest context version of 2006-06-7 coloring the background seems broken. Reverting to the version 2006-05-28 remedied this, but I have no intention of course, to freeze my system at that point.
Here is a minimal example that colors the background in 2006-05-28 and does not in 2006-06-07:
\setupcolors[state=start] \definetextbackground[showbkg][frame=off,location=text, background=color,backgroundcolor=orange,backgroundoffset=0pt] \starttext tekst \startshowbkg background \stopshowbkg{} tekst. \stoptext
Can someone look into this? I am relying on this coloring!
Backgrounds work ok here (on Linux).
THANKS for those who checked this on their system and found nothing wrong. But that was bad news for me. I switched back and force between the versions of 2006-05-28 and 2006-06-07 by replacing all context related files from cont-tmf.zip, taking care to first remove all the old contents, regenerating the formats afterwards. Definitely the 2006-05-28 works, the 2006-06-07 does not work here. At the brink of giving up I thought it should be metapost related and then found in cont-sys.tex some patches I had received earlier and these now had to be taken out. So back to normal! QUESTION: is the issue related to these patches now resolved from version 2006-06-07 onwards? These patches were: "% PATCH FOR SUPPRESS "unknown"s IN METAPOST COMMUNICATION OF textext" \unexpanded\def\startcolor {\ifincolor \expandafter\doglobalstartcolor \else \expandafter\noglobalstartcolor \fi} \unexpanded\def\stopcolor {\ifincolor \doglobalstopcolor \else \noglobalstopcolor \fi} and "% PATCH FOR STANDALONE GRAPHICS WHERE textext WAS NOT WORKING" \long\def\writecheckedMPgraphic#1% {\ifforceMPTEXgraphic \global\MPTEXgraphictrue \else \global\MPTEXgraphicfalse \edef\ascii{#1}\convertcommand\ascii\to\MPascii \the\MPTEXgraphicchecks\relax % \relax is end condition! \fi \flushMPTEXgraphic % verbatimtex etc \writeMPgraphic{#1}} Hans van der Meer
