Hi,
In this document:
\setupindenting[medium]
\setupwhitespace[medium]
\setupbodyfont[16pt]
\starttext
\chapter{This is a test}
\AutoDroppedCaps \input tufte
\input tufte
\stoptext
I get output attached in gif file. It works fine without \chapter before. Any
thoughts?
can you try

\unprotect

\ifx\keeplinestogether\undefined
   \let\keeplinestogether\gobbleoneargument
\fi

\def\DroppedCaps#1#2#3#4#5#6#7% does not yet handle accented chars
   {\convertargument            #7\to\asciia
    \convertcommand \DroppedString\to\asciib
    \ExpandBothAfter\doifinstringelse\asciia\asciib
      {\dontleavehmode
       \ifhmode\hskip-\parindent\fi
       \keeplinestogether{#6}%
       \setbox0\hbox{\definedfont[#2 at #3]#1{#7}\hskip#4}%
       \ifdim\dp0>\strutdp % one of those Q's , will be option
         \setbox2\hbox{\raise\dp0\hbox{\lower\strutdp\copy0}}%
         \ht2\ht0
         \dp0\strutdp
         \setbox0\box2
       \fi
       \setbox0\hbox
         {\ifnum\DropMode=\plusone
            \hskip-\wd0\wd0\zeropoint
          \fi
          \lower#5\box0}%
       \ht0\strutht
       \dp0\strutdp
       \ifnum\DropMode=\plusone
         \globaldropcaps\let\DroppedIndent\!!zeropoint
         \globaldropcaps\edef\DroppedLines{\number\maxdimen}%
         \globaldropcaps\chardef\DroppedStatus\plusthree
       \else
         \globaldropcaps\edef\DroppedIndent{\the\wd0}%
         \globaldropcaps\edef\DroppedLines {\number#6}%
         \globaldropcaps\chardef\DroppedStatus\plustwo
         \globaldropcaps\hangindent\DroppedIndent
         \globaldropcaps\hangafter-\DroppedLines
         \noindent
         \hskip-\DroppedIndent
       \fi
       \vbox{\forgetall\box0}%
       \nobreak
       \let\next\ignorespaces} % Could be a one character word !
      {\globaldropcaps\let\DroppedIndent\!!zeropoint
       \globaldropcaps\edef\DroppedLines{\number\maxdimen}%
       \globaldropcaps\chardef\DroppedStatus\plusthree
       \def\next{#7}}%
    \let\globaldropcaps\global
    \next}

\protect

btw, high level interface:

\setupindenting[medium] \setupwhitespace[medium]

\setupinitial[state=start,n=3]
\definefontsynonym[Initial][SerifBold]

\placeinitial \dorecurse{3}{\input tufte \endgraf}
