Hello,
I'm forwarding the author's answer back to the mailing list. If anyone has some nice idea about possible solutions, let us/him know ... I don't remember how I was solving such problems so far, but I know that I have always been missing:
% maybe even some external file with extremely long code \starttikzpicture{picture name} .... \stoptikzpicture
\placefigure{some figure}{\usetikzpicture{picture name}}
If that was implemented, maybe \usetikzpicture could be inside an hbox?

Hi!
the problem is caused by the fact that a tikz/pgf picture is a \hbox, but with \leavevmode before it. This turned out to be necessary to ensure that tikzpictures behave the same way for all backend drivers.
Certainly the added \hbox is a correct solution to this problem since it gets tex back into the right "mode"...
I don't really know how to change this in an elegant manner since existing code will now assume that tikzpictures are always set in horizontal mode, so any change could have desastrous consequences for existing documents.
maybe you can use (in the context variant) \ifinsidefloat (true when inside a floating body, so just then put an hbox around it) (sometimes putting \dontleavehmode in front also helps) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
