Hi all, the attached example works with the version from 17.11.|20.11., but not with the current (22.11.06, 11:02) one. The problem seems to be in the use of textext, as it 'works' (background is visible) when I exchange p:= textext.rt(\MPstring{FunnyFrame}) ; with p:= nullpicture ; I couldn't test the current version on contextgarden (still 20.11., which works ok), so I'm unsure, if it's my messy tex tree or a general problem.
