Re: [NTG-context] \definelayout[first] does not yield to default layout on page 2

Oh crap, I thought Wagner's solution worked but it doesn't -- quite. \showframe indicates that the page areas are defined correctly, and the footer frame on page 2 and later is the correct size. But Context is not filling the text columns all the way to the bottom; The body text is still stopping short as though the larger footer was still in effect. Frustrating.

According to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout#Multiple_layouts, you can do this by using the commands \setuplayout[yourcustomlayout] and \setuplayout[reset] at the location you want to change the layout.

First-page layout is an issue that I have asked about before, but maybe I am doing something wrong. Here is my question in an earlier thread: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20111228.041922.c60f9cd5.en.html .

I want to define a layout for the first page of my document with different header and footer formatting -- specifically, no header and a large footer to hold publication information. Based on examples on Contextgarden and this list, I think my code below is correct. However, the first page formatting is continued on all pages of the document. The effect is the same when using \definelayout[first] and \definelayout[1].
