For what I understand \placegrafik[btlr]{none}{\externalfigure[foo][width=1.95\textwidth]} and columnset with n=3 are not compatible. I mean 1.95\textwidth and n=3 are not compatible

Same is true for lines=19.  I think this is a bug in ConTeXt, and I wanted to report it, in the hope it will get fixed. no surprise here ,as before

In mkii your \subject disappear, in mkiv no but things changes with 1.92\textwidth whiel with 1.0\textwidth things go well. I'm not surprised because columnsets must be carefully managed .

Sorry, but I won't consider a »feature working properly only under some very rare circumstances« a properly working feature, but a broken one.

I disagree here. In columnsets I always exactly specify what I want to do, to avoid surprise. For example in your situation I use width=1.0\textwidth, because \placegrafik[btlr]{none}{\externalfigure[foo][width=1.95\textwidth]} is a non-sense for me: I cannot put a figure large 1.95\textwidth in a column large \textwidth.

Yes, but the 1.95\textwidth was just a remainder of my experiments with the width to see where the problem occurs and where not. It occurs with width=2\textwidth, too, as well as with lines=19. And the latter two one make sense. And no, I don't want to put a figure 2 columns wide in a single column. I want it to spawn over two columns.

If I need to do so, then I must reserve a span in a some way.

According to http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/columns.pdf (page 16ff.) it is perfectly okay to do the way I did. That's what the directive btlr is for: flush from bottom to top and left to right. It's a documented feature, and it's not working properly (at least from what I see). I call this a bug.
